COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Who doesn’t love some friendly competition? During the holidays, all six Gilbane Construction-Blueprint Schools teams and others within the region competed to see who could gather the most amount of canned goods to give to a Blueprint Schools community. Collectively they donated over 1,000+ lbs. of food to St. Johns Episcopal Church’s Fort Washington Food Pantry, located a short distance from the Southern Area K-8 site. The Walker Mill-Gilbane Construction team came in first with the most amount of canned goods and the Kenmoor team won second place. 

Ashanti Hobbs, Project Engineer for the new Adelphi Middle School, coordinated the holiday giving process between her Gilbane colleagues, stating they were “so excited to not only give but, to connect with people” like they did last October as participants in Hyattsville’s annual Zombie Run.  “Whether it’s the construction of schools or the collection of donations, we're  six different teams working towards the same goal of providing the best for the communities we serve,” said Ashanti.
