On Thursday, April 10, 2008 more than 100 teen and adult volunteers participated in building a playground. This extraordinary project took 8 hours to complete. Home Depot, West Palm Beach Housing Authority, KaBOOM!, and community volunteers joined together to build a state-of-the-art, playground all in one day.

A special thank you goes to:

Along with the help of Valet Waste, and Mr. Ben Padilla sponsored lunch to feed all our volunteers. This generous contribution of Valet Waste has helped to provide a new playground for the children in Robinson Villa.

With a mission to provide those with limited financial resources access to safe, decent and affordable public housing and programs to assist in transition to greater financial security, the West Palm Beach Housing Authority owns and operates 712 units in five housing developments: Dunbar Village, Southridge, Pleasant City, Twin Lakes, Robinson Villa and Robinson Village.

We were also excited to see our local news stations, WPBF 25, WPEC 12, and WFLX 29 come out and cover our build day. You can view each news station coverage, click on the news station you wish to view. Please wait as video will play depending on your internet connection. [more photos]
