Thank You!
Special thanks to the 19 crew members from the aircraft carrier, USS George H. W. Bush who helped move 8 Alternatives staff into new donated office space at the Hampton Teen Center and the Teagle Building in Newport News. They hefted desks, filing cabinets, bookcases, and computers. The sailors were part of a volunteer initiative that put 1000 service men and woman to work for the day at non profit sites throughout Hampton Roads. Alternatives thanks them for their much needed contribution of muscle and good will.
