In celebration of its 30th Anniversary, Gilead Sciences held a week of community service. One hundred Gilead employees visited Fred Finch Youth Center’s Coolidge Campus on Thursday, August 3rd, to complete much needed maintenance tasks. Some quotes from a conversation with our FFYC Maintenance staff say it all:

“You know what– out of all of the volunteers that have come through here– they were one of the hardest working crews we’ve had,” said Earl.

Ron added in, “We’ve had some crews around here all day, but they haven’t completed as much as these guys did in two hours!”

Earl continued, “They were hard-working but friendly at the same time…”

“–with a smile!,” both Ron and Earl chimed in together.

“They were such good workers they really had me tired!,” Earl said, “I look forward to having them come back again.”

Here are some photos of the crew at work:

The window washing crew really had their work cut out for them, but they did it without complaints!
Volunteers cheerfully chatted with one another while completing their tasks, such as these group as they weeded flower beds.

This group of volunteers found extra work for themselves to do after the main crew was done for the day!
After a busy few hours, it was time to enjoy lunch.
