RALEIGH, N.C. – Arysta LifeScience, the United Way of the Greater Triangle, Project EverGreen and Raleigh N.C. have completed their joint donations of employees and services to renovate the outdoor landscape and provide a natural gathering area at Haven House Youth Services Center, a United Way partner agency in Raleigh.
Haven House Services is a non-profit agency helping at-risk young people and their families develop positive, successful relationships at home, at school and in the community.
“The new area really is so much more pleasant to see,” says Sherita Young, Haven House Program Coordinator. “We now have a quiet place for our young people to meditate on benches surrounded by beautiful flowers to collect their thoughts…a treasure for the population we serve. Arysta LifeScience volunteer efforts have made a tangible difference.”
Arysta LifeScience North America, serving the Turf & Ornamental and Agricultural markets, is headquartered in Cary N.C. and employs approximately 70 people at this location. Several of their employees and spouses volunteered their time to enhance the outdoor living space and prepare an outdoor sitting area, providing an open, safe space for Haven House clients and employees.
United Way of the Greater Triangle connected Arysta LifeScience with Haven House as a United Way agency partner.
“Having youth succeed in school and in life is a key component of our Wake County Community Action Plan,” says Ed Brennan, relations manager at United Way. “Participating in the Haven House renovation with Arysta LifeScience is an example of how we mobilize with our corporate donors to help meet community needs.”
