Last month, we were thrilled and proud to build a ramp for Duane so he could return home after a battle with COVID-19! We would like to send a huge thank you to our Honeywell Retired Volunteer Program Ramp Team for their hard work on this project. We’d also like to thank our other partners who came together to make this happen, including St. Bridget’s Church in Minneapolis and the Knights of Columbus.
