Member Chuck Debellis found out about the grant and approached James Barrow who manages the Uniontown Home Depot store and was issued over $5,500 in coupons to purchase a new shed. The Veterans Post is located at 502 Oxford Ave. in the Blaine Hill Section of Elizabeth Borough.Home Depot employees and also Home Depot managers attending a regional meeting in Cranberry came out to help tear down the old shed and build and paint the new one. They also helped cut down trees, clean up brush, landscape the yard, and installed a solar light for better safety. (Photo Credits: Rick Elster)
