Living Spaces Funds Health Renovations At LA Veterans Center
In the morning on Friday, Volunteers from Living Spaces came together to show their support for the veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, who now call the Volunteers of America Los Angeles Hollywood Veterans Center home. The wooden slats on the outdoor patio were painted and bricks, mulch and plants were laid out to enhance the space, making it a peaceful, welcoming environment. As a result of participation in EcoMedia's WellnessAd, Living Spaces funded new patio furniture for the veterans to have a place to reflect and recover. A renovation of the gym area took place with roofing, flooring and mirrors being installed, along with state-of-the-art gym equipment which enable veterans to fulfill their health and fitness goals. Bicycles were also provided for exercise and transportation. Earlier, speakers from Living Spaces, Volunteers of America and EcoMedia gathered together to tell the story of how the project came together and to celebrate the health renovations that will assist the 144 veterans to get to the next step in their development and re-entry into civilian life.
