Basement Expert in Knoxville Donates Services to Twin Founders of the Love Kitchen Charity

Master Dry of Knoxville participates in Labor of Love for the Love KitchenKnoxville, TN - Master Services is providing free basement and crawl space renovations for the twin 82-year-old Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner, founders of the local Love Kitchen charitable food donation center - as part of Labor of Love starting this Friday, March 18, 2011.

Alongside WBIR, the Home Builders Association of Greater Knoxville, and other businesses and citizens; Master Services is providing basement and crawl space repair services in an effort to renovate the founders' homes. In fact, Master Services has scheduled to close for March 18, 2011 in order to bring all its employees to the sisters' homes to perform the work.

Thus far, $13,500 has been collected from donations made by Charlie and Moll Anderson Family Foundation, Dean Winegardner of American Book Company, Pilot Flying J, and others. This amounts to more than a quarter of the predicted amount needed to restore and renovate the two homes, says Mike Stevens from the Home Building Association.

"I have watched these ladies for years and years and years and they've given to the community and asked nothing in return, and obviously they're not asking for this.  But I can't cook and they can't fix houses, so we're going to do what we can do and let them keep doing what they do well," said Mike Stevens of the Home Builders Association for Greater Knoxville.

About the Love Kitchen

The Love Kitchen began as a dream in 1984, but quickly came to life in February 1986. Today, they provide 2,000 meals per week, offer clothing plus emergency food packages to the homeless and unemployed. The two sisters have rooted their beliefs in their religious perspectives and three important facts their father shared with them: don't take the last piece of bread since someone else might be in need of it, the human race is the only race, and the Father in Heaven is the one true Father.
