Interface providing transportCircle of Care is an organization that uses proven research to provide education, resources, and support to help families in our local community become stronger, healthier, and happier. Circle of Care is moving into a new building that is in very rough shape and they are relying on 100% donations to build out their space.  We (IDEC members) are going to re-carpet several rooms in this former medical clinic turned Circle of Care office.  The building will provide a safe place for children in difficult home environments as well as education for parents and families that need help getting back on their feet.  Our industry partner, Interface, will provide fun colorful patterns to integrate into each space.  IDEC volunteers can design the flooring they think is best for each area, based on what is available on site. IDEC members who join in this community service project will gain hands-on experience with installation, be provided with transportation by Interface, and receive a thank you gift from Interface!
