Thalhimer Gives | Revitalization Continues at Williams City Farms in Richmond
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: Thalhimer’s Richmond associates gathered at Williams City Farms Learning Center on June 12th for the third of three revitalization efforts at the farm and completed the tasks below. David Oddo, hero for our Thalhimer Gives Q2 partner, Rebuilding Together Richmond, continues to work with area contractors to finish items such as new electricity to the site, security cameras and lighting, and a mini-pergola for the cistern shed, thus completing our quarter-long partnership. The revitalization and restoration of the farm has been nothing short of phenomenal.
- Painted the newly-constructed storage shed
- Trimmed weeds around beds and fruit trees
- Moved soil to tilled-beds to ready for planting
- Assembled and placed new oval shaped metal raised beds
- Organized the farm’s potting supplies to be stored in the new shed
- Cleaned and pressure washed front entrance and sidewalk
- Harvested produce that was ready to be picked – delivered to a local church
Rebuilding Together Richmond’s mission is to strengthen communities by providing critical home repairs, accessibility upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements to low-income homeowners, as well as sprucing up community-wide support systems. Thalhimer Gives was partnered with Williams City Farms to revitalize the property on behalf of the owner/operator, Shana Williams.
