🍽️💛 Giving Back to Those Who Help Us Build | Unity One Movement x Home Depot store:6567 🔧🌞

What does real community look like?
It looks like showing up with gratitude.
In this feature, Ken, Executive Director of Unity One Movement, pulls into the parking lot of The Home Depot with a simple mission...say THANK YOU.
Thanks to their continued support of our STEM and skilled trades programs, our students are learning real-world skills in solar energy, construction, and hands-on innovation. So today… we give back.
🥪 With the help of Cade Hicks (Milwaukee/Ryobi TTI Representative), Ken unloads sandwiches, chips, and cookies for the hardworking team inside.
As they walk through the store:
🤝 Ken greets Bruce, Joseph (who might just remind you of Kyrie Irving 👀), Justin the Store Manager, and Shawn the Assistant Store Manager.

🙏 Unity One Shares appreciation for their ongoing support
🍴 Heads to the back training room to drop off lunch for the entire crew
And just before heading out…
⚡ He spots Mr. Leo from Electrical and makes sure he doesn’t miss out:
“Hey, go grab some lunch before it’s all gone!”
Because that’s what this is about...community, appreciation, and building together.
💡 At Unity One Movement, we believe partnerships like this don’t just build projects… they build people, opportunities, and futures.
✨ If you believe in giving back to those who support the mission please share this video.
