Whirlpool volunteers will work Thursday at Union Park in Benton Harbor

Volunteers from Whirlpool will likely be on Thursday at Benton Harbor’s Union Park to finish a beautification challenge the corporate dedicated to final 12 months. That is attainable due to a $500,000 donation from Whirlpool to town. Whirlpool says the park has acquired up to date and leveled baseball fields, new subject fencing, contemporary and new dugouts, new playground gear, a refreshed pavilion and press field, renovated and expanded basketball courts, and new lighting. The corporate says its contribution to the challenge is a part of its racial equality pledge. Volunteers from Whirlpool will work within the park from 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, and ribbon chopping for enhancements will happen at 2:30 p.m. Mark Bitzer, CEO of Whirlpool Company, says volunteers are “able to roll up their sleeves and get the job achieved, particularly for the youth in our group, and our native headquarters assist make an enduring and constructive influence in the neighborhood.” “
