Alcoa Staffers Pitch In

Alcoa volunteers helped spruce up Braddock buildings on Friday, October 16th. Approximately 100 volunteers from converged on Braddock to “redd up” buildings that have great promise for the town’s future. The project was organized in cooperation with Pittsburgh Cares (www.pittsburghcares.org) to benefit Heritage Community Initiatives, (www.HeritageCommunityInitiatives.org). 

The volunteers cleaned, organized, and painted in the former Cuda Building at 800 Braddock Avenue, which is being prepared by Heritage as the site of a future community market. They also painted at the Heritage Building at 445 Fourth Street, which is slated to soon become a location for early education and after-school programming. They also painted the Rotary Room of the Braddock Carnegie Library, the first American library founded by Andrew Carnegie.
