Sundt employees working on the company’s federal construction projects at Fort Campbell, Ky., and Fort Polk, La., recently made a helpful donation to Sanctuary, Inc., an area nonprofit organization that serves victims of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence. When the teams ended up with a surplus of brand new kitchen cabinets that couldn’t be installed in their projects, they looked around to find a good use for them in the community. After a few phone calls, they discovered that Sanctuary, Inc., was in the process of remodeling several of its safe houses and had an immediate need for materials.
“When we called Sanctuary, Inc., to see if they could use the cabinets, the answer was an enthusiastic ‘yes,’” said Pauline Dravet, Sundt project administrator. “We wrapped, loaded and delivered the cabinets to their volunteer/donations coordinator within just a couple of days. With another construction company, these cabinets could just as easily have ended up in some project superintendent’s garage, but Sundt did the right thing by finding a good use for them.”
Sundt is constructing a $21.4 million Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH) complex at Fort Campbell. The project will accommodate up to 244 soldiers when it is complete. Our Fort Polk project consists of a $17.7 million Warrior in Transition barracks that will house 112 personnel.
