A downstairs half bathroom and new flooring were welcome
additions to Jackson House, which provides supportive housing for U.S. Armed
Forces veterans.
A pool table in the living room of the downtown Indianapolis
residence was an unexpected gift. So were tickets to the Indiana Pacers home
game on Veterans Day.
HVAF teamed up with the “Pit Crew,” comprised of volunteers
from Panter Racing, Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing, INDYCAR Ministry and the
IndyCar community to renovate the interior of the house that is home to six
veterans.
William Price, a U.S. Army veteran, is among the residents
at the Jackson House after he lost his job of 17 years.
“It’s a great feeling to be appreciated,” says Price.
Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing driver Charlie Kimball was
among the volunteers who scraped, painted, laid flooring, assembled the pool
table and spruced up the dwelling that was dedicated in 2000.
Kimball also held food drives leading up the renovation
project unveiling.
