The donated labor, totaling 168 hours, will be performed in honor of the National Day of Service and Remembrance, which was established in 2009 as a day to reflect and participate in service on the anniversary of 9/11.

Owner of My Handyman of Ann Arbor, Saline and Chelsea Greg Kemp, Roberts, volunteers from the corporate office and two technicians from the local branch will build storage shelves and cabinets, replace ceiling tiles, repaint walls, fix up the men’s bathroom and install a new flag out front.

“This year there was a focus system wide to select fire departments in our serves areas in remembrance of the impact they suffered during 9/11,” Kemp said. “These firefighters do a lot for the community so we started reaching out to local departments. Scio Township had some maintenance needs that we can provide.”

Work will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until the project is complete, Kemp said.

My Handyman will donate approximately $2,000 worth of labor and suppliers in the area will donate between $2,000 and $3,000 in materials, Kemp said.

Sherwin-Williams donated paint, Rayhaven Group in Southfield donated partitions that will be installed in the locker room and Fergusons Plumbing Supply donated repair parts, according to Kemp. Additional materials will be donated by My Handyman of Ann Arbor, Saline and Chelsea and the My Handyman corporate office.

This is the fifth year that My Handyman has provided free labor in remembrance of 9/11. Local technicians have provided a combined 2,900 hours of labor over the past four years.

“It’s something that the My Handyman system does company wide,” Kemp said. “This is my first time participating since I bought the franchise in November 2012 and I’m excited to give back to the community, especially to give back to the firefighters who do so much for us and aren’t always recognized for it.”
