Cathedral City, CA

Today, the Home Depot Foundation, in partnership with 365 Connect, helped transform The Salvation Army Cathedral City and Veterans Village of Cathedral City to give the veterans who live there a more comfortable place to spend their time. Volunteers today helped build shade structures, assemble outdoor furniture, plant gardens, created a food pantry, installed donation shelving, replaced flooring and more.
