“This will be a much needed improvement for storing donations and every day needed items for veterans when they depart the program,” says Randen.  

Contractors with Wurster Construction

One of the contractors was Al Wurster, president of Wurster Construction, a 75-year-old family company in Indianapolis. He commented, “My dad said that you have to give back to the community that gives to you. We are very thankful and that’s why we got involved.” Wurster also explained that they were replacing the siding, hanging overhead door, the ridge vent, and more. 

Ivanna Weyland, an 11 year employee of Wurster, has had two daughters in the Marines. She explained, “There’s no bigger family than the military family. We were very excited to hear about this and wanted to get started right away.” 

It was a very fun group that volunteered at the Loyd house. They even grilled out for lunch with some of the veterans who live there. 

One Army veteran, Kenneth P., remarked, “It’s a very nice thing for them to come out and help us veterans. It means a lot that they’re taking time to show their gratitude.”
