Spreading the love: S&R team paints basement of Community Living home during Day of Caring

‘It was a truly a great day with great people’

A team from S&R and Nova Chemicals painted the basement of a respite home owned by Community Living Sept. 11 during the United Way's Day of Caring.  

Four Steeves & Rozema Group team members participated in the United Way of Sarnia-Lambton’s 25th annual Day of Caring on Sept. 11, a yearly tradition for S&R and one that ties into the organization’s mission of “creating communities that are good for life.”

As part of the Day of Caring, which officially kicks off the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign each year, about 250 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and helped beautify 48 job sites across Lambton County.

This year Steeves & Rozema sent four of its team members from head office – Shauntelle Sandrin, Caryn Taylor, Caitlyn Sanders and Susan Rankin – to paint the basement of a respite home owned by Community Living Sarnia-Lambton.

The Steeves & Rozema team members were joined by five staff members from Nova Chemicals.

“I was fortunate enough this year to be able to participate in the United Way’s Annual Day of Caring, as S&R is a huge supporter of the United Way,” Shauntelle tells S&R Today. “It was an incredible day.”

As part of their project, the S&R and Nova team painted the basement a robin’s-egg blue and added a special touch of creativity – a heart-shaped collection of “love” hand prints.

Shauntelle, S&R’s director of relationships and marketing, says the team was “incredibly happy” they had the opportunity to help Community Living with this project.

“It was a truly a great day with great people,” she says. “We are so pleased to say that we accomplished the great task of painting the entire basement that day but also adding a bit of ‘love’ to the home for the children. ...

“Our companies are incredible, too, as they support the community and allow us such a day. What a wonderful community to be part of.”
