Highlights of the volunteer efforts throughout the month include a food pantry renovation project with the Juniper Outreach Foundation and Worcester Public Schools, Working for Worcester’s 11^th Annual Build Day and Operation Playhouse, a unique program that benefits local veterans, military families and their children.

“Very exciting to see Consigli have a strong commitment to the community and to help out where we work,” said Janice Narowski, Project Superintendent. “A few hours of your time can make a bigger impact than you realize.”

Employees also partnered with domestic violence prevention nonprofit organizations to support survivors and participated in environmental clean-up volunteer days at local bodies of water. Through the Consigli Foundation, employees also supported the foundation’s partnership with youth and community development organizations like Camp Courant and The BASE.

Volunteer Month participation and a demonstrated corporate commitment to community service plays a critical role in Consigli’s efforts to build great projects, great relationships and great people who build beyond themselves.

A team of Consigli volunteers completed light renovations on the space, including shelf and carpet installation, painting and patching walls. The new food pantry allows students to receive food, toiletries and other necessities in a safe and welcoming place and will help combat food insecurity for local families. One hundred percent of the student population at City View is eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.

UMass Chan Medical School and Stop & Shop also partnered with the Juniper Outreach Foundation to help stock the food pantry renovated by Consigli employees for the remainder of the 2023 school year.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at City View Discovery Elementary School to celebrate this new resource for the families served by Worcester Public Schools.

“This is our first collaboration with Consigli, and I really want to thank Consigli for making this all a dream come true for this school and for the kids,” said Julie McDonald, Executive Director of the Juniper Outreach Foundation. “Thank you to the Consigli team for coming in here and meticulously cleaning and plastering the walls and putting the shelving up to make this great sunny space.”

“Consigli Construction is committed to building beyond ourselves, and the Consigli Foundation bolsters that mission by giving back to the communities where our teams live and work,” said Michael Fales, Chief Human Resources Officer at Consigli Construction Co., Inc. “No child should have to worry where their next meal is coming from, and the Consigli Foundation is grateful to the Juniper Outreach Foundation and Stop & Shop for its work to support children and families in the Worcester area, and to have had the opportunity to partner on this meaningful cause.”

“This is certainly a labor of love that began with UMass Chan two years ago, and we’re so appreciative that others like Juniper and Consigli Construction have joined us in this effort,” said Jennifer Brogan, Stop & Shop director of community relations.
