Friendship leads to new partnership!

My good buddy James Canady and I go back nearly 25 years.  He is a go getter and loves people!  Our mutual interest is art; matter of fact James has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from North Carolina A&T.  We have collaborated on a number of projects and what I admire the most about James is his entrepreneurial spirit.

He works at Chick-fil-A, one of my favorite restaurants.  If you're lucky you might just bump into this smiling, gregarious fellow who will make your day!

Like so many individuals during Covid James found himself out of work for a period of time and at the same time challenged financially.  A number of much-needed home repairs demanded immediate attention during that time.

James and I went to Community Housing Solutions and they were able to help James with crucial repairs to keep his house in order.  Since that time, James and CHS have worked together to replace a back patio, railings, replaced a roof as well as having his house painted!

All of this has not only restored but added value to his home, alleviating stress and insecurities around how he was going to manage such significant repairs.  James's participation sealed my desire to come along and support this most worthwhile organization.  This year's Honor Card will be a marvelous tool for CHS to raise awareness and funds for projects just like James Canady's home.

I hope you will join us in support and maybe even consider volunteering for an upcoming project.
