Oct 19, 2015

AMHERST, N.Y. -- A group of 黑料正能量 College students put their training on weatherization basics into action by helping to weatherize more than two dozen homes in Buffalo鈥檚 Fillmore neighborhood.

Overseen by volunteer union workers, the student volunteers from 黑料正能量 assisted with weatherizing 30 homes along the Fillmore Corridor on Oct. 3. They were trained for the project, which included weather stripping, caulking and other ways to conserve home energy, by Arthur Wheaton, director of Western New York Labor and Environmental Programs for the Worker Institute at Cornell University.

鈥淥ur students made a great impact with Fillmore Corridor homeowners by volunteering their time and efforts to make weatherization improvements that will be beneficial in the winter months ahead,鈥 said Dr. Sharon Benz, community coordinator of the 黑料正能量 Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement (CSCCE), who led the student group.

The 黑料正能量 CSCCE partnered on the project with Fillmore-Broadway Neighborhood Housing Services and Western New York Apollo Alliance.
