With a heavy heart, we are sharing the news that one of our volunteers, Paul Oman, has passed away. Paul was one of our “Big 3” Quicksilvers volunteers. Our Ramp Program Manager, Ryan Thomas, said, “He was a gentle soul, with a servant’s heart and a smile on his face.”
Paul will be missed and we send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and fellow volunteers.
We would like to send a special thank you to Omaze for providing us with a grant to help three low-income families in need with much-needed repairs and accessibility modifications!
We recently partnered with Spectrum to help Community Action Duluth with improvements and technology for its job training program! Spectrum provided a grant towards this project and employee volunteers to assist on the project day.
This project is part of Spectrum Community Center Assist, the company’s five-year, $30 million philanthropic initiative to revitalize local community centers and invest in job training programs in rural and urban underserved communities.
Spectrum is providing Community Action Duluth its 1 Gig service, at no charge, for the life of the program. Spectrum also donated 25 new laptops and one Smartboard to support the organization’s training and technology programs.
