On Wednesday, October 25th, 2017, employees from Kaiser Permanente and Merck’s Southern California Division came together to complete a home preservation project for Maxine. Maxine is a senior resident of Mission Village Mobile Home Park where she lives with her daughter and two dogs. At a glance, one can tell that she takes great pride in the landscaping and cleanliness of her home. Kaiser Permanente and Merck wanted to give back to Maxine, and wanted to give her home the color she had always dreamed of.
The morning started with volunteers prepping the paint trays and rollers. After that, everyone gathered for a safety briefing and instructions on how to use different tools. Everyone grabbed their own roller or brush and set off to work, racing to beat the heat of the day.
