ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR TRANSFORMS SCHOOL IN HONOR OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY

Two local Enterprise Rent-A-Car regions teamed up with City Year New York on January 18th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day to improve the Hunts Point and Longwood communities.

Sixteen volunteers participated in transforming and beautifying the school facilities at MS 424 in the Bronx. Due to their participation, the building is now bursting with color as their hallways are adorned with murals and classrooms have a fresh coat of paint.

“We were so excited to help create awareness for Martin Luther King Jr. Day,” said Ms. Nancy Amorese human resources manager for the New York City South Region of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. “What better way for us to make an impact than by helping our community’s youth.”

Ms. Amorese and Mrs. Andrea Lusk with their team of Enterprise Rent-A-Car volunteers worked together to create a newly revitalized school for the community.

“Our team and the other volunteers have made a positive impact on our community by supporting City Year New York’s MLK Day of Service program,” said Andrea Lusk Human Resources Supervisor for the Long Island and Queens Region. “The transformation was amazing and we hope that the students will continue to pass on and practice Dr. King’s mission of service to others.”
