Employees at Covestro s compounding plant in Newark, Ohio, have built a ramp to help a local military veteran.
The site s Covestro Helping Armed Forces Military Personnel (CHAMP) group built the ramp over a two-day period earlier this month. VFW Post 1060 had reached out to the group for a hospitalized veteran who would be released soon and would need to have wheelchair access to his home.
The CHAMP team, whose purpose is to enrich veterans lives both within and outside of Covestro, gathered donations from employees to purchase materials for the project and install the ramp. The team raised $1,260 from employees to purchase the metal ramp. They then removed existing concrete, built forms and poured new concrete to support the ramp.
