Walsh Construction and Archer Western project teams are providing donations and assistance in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Below is an initial sampling of some of the recent activities happening across our communities.
CHICAGO, IL - The Walsh-Fluor Design-Build Team offered help to their neighbors at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, donating 40 of these N-95 respirators plus a large collection of masks. The Walsh-Fluor team is constructing the Chicago Transit Authority's Red and Purple Modernization project in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, a community served by Illinois Masonic.
Atlanta, GA - Archer Western's Atlanta office and project teams collected more than 1,500 pounds of food and donated over 1,700 cans to Atlanta Community Food Bank. The food bank is currently experiencing a surge in demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Lewisville, TX - The Archer Western team at the Upper Trinity Regional Water District volunteered and donated materials to Veterans Produce to expand and renovate its aquaponic greenhouse. The expansion will allow room for an additional 700 plants which will have a yield of about 100 plants a week. Veterans Produce was founded by retired Navy Chief, T.C. Beckett and provides organic produce for various organizations in the North Texas community. Due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, Veterans Produce is assisting food banks that are struggling to keep up with demands.
