Hearts & Hammers: Giving Back & Building Community

Monday, September 9th, 2024

Last week, Pope Design Group employees spent the day supporting Hearts & Hammers, a local non-profit, to help a Minneapolis, MN neighbor restore the exterior of their home.

In just 8 hours, employees split into morning and afternoon crews were able to repair soffits, clear weeds and brush, remove invasive vines, add new landscaping yards, and paint the entire house and outdoor shed.

The homeowner, Claudia, was beyond grateful and at a loss for words when seeing the transformation.

The mission of Hearts & Hammers –Twin Cities is to provide exterior home improvement assistance for Senior Citizens, Disabled Individuals, and Veterans of the United States Armed Forces or their Surviving Spouse so that they may continue living independently.

Hearts & Hammers assists local, low-income homeowners whose exterior of their homes is deteriorating and may even be in danger of losing their homes. Hearts & Hammers restores and preserves the home so that they can safely stay in their affordable home. They do this by managing the project start-to-finish which includes scoping the project, gathering supplies and volunteers to complete the work.

Each year, Pope employees look forward to participating to support Hearts & Hammers’ mission and strengthen our local community through an annual event.
