TAMPA — Team Depot, Home Depot's associate-led volunteer force, renovated the home of World War II veteran Jim Collins on Thursday in Tampa.
The work is done in partnership with the USO Central Florida. It's intended to make Collins' life easier by allowing him to spend less time maintaining and working on his home and more time enjoying his family. Collins, 90, has seven children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
The effort was a part of Home Depot's fourth annual Celebration of Service, during which Team Depot volunteers transform more than 1,000 homes for veterans across the country,, from Sept. 11 to Veterans Day.
