Community Storehouse will Benefit as Locally-Owned Mr. Handyman Franchise Donates Repair Services on Sept. 11

As part of the National Day of Service, technicians from Mr. Handyman of Keller, Flower Mound and Alliance will donate 24 hours of repair and maintenance jobs on Monday, Sept. 11, all without collecting a single penny in labor costs. Mr. Handyman of Keller, Flower Mound and Alliance, a Neighborly company, is part of the nation’s leading repair, maintenance and improvement franchise.

Mr. Handyman’s volunteer staff will visit Community Storehouse, a children's charity in Northeast Tarrant County dedicated to keeping children in the classroom while going through struggling times. Mr. Handyman will be providing the labor and materials and will be building and staining the enclosure of the dumpster area at the new, larger Community Storehouse site. These services will be in addition to the five hours of drywall hanging and painting labor previously provided by the local Mr. Handyman team.

This project is part of a national effort by Mr. Handyman where technicians from coast to coast are encouraged to reach out to a special local charity, organization or individual in need to offer their services. Jobs often range from fixing up living areas, kitchens, bathrooms or anything else that needs refurbishment and renovation. All projects will take place during the month of September in honor of the 16th anniversary of 9/11.

“We are thrilled to be sharing our services with Community Storehouse as part of Mr. Handyman’s National Day of Service campaign,” said Michael Riley, owner of Mr. Handyman of Keller, Flower Mound and Alliance. “We are excited to be part of a national campaign that allows us to give back to our community.”

The Sept.11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is a federally recognized day of service aimed at honoring the victims, survivors and those who served in response to the attacks and transforming the tragedy into a day of unity, empathy and positive service. Launched in 2002 by the non-profit MyGoodDeed, National Day of Service is the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, with nearly 30 million Americans stepping out each September 11 to volunteer and support charities in honor of 9/11, according to 9/11 Day.

This marks the ninth consecutive year Mr. Handyman has rallied around the cause, donating more than 6,000 hours of labor to groups in need over the past eight years. The franchise will use its skilled technicians’ time this year to give back to local communities and bring people together for a positive cause.

“This campaign allows our franchisees to band together to give back to the local communities that they serve every day. Especially during this time when we are honoring the lives and memories of 9/11 heroes, it is important to actively be part of these communities and step up where we are needed,” said Mr. Handyman President J.B. Sassano. “Now more than ever, we’re focusing on bringing communities and groups of people together for a positive cause.”
