Windward’s employees and their families devoted a Saturday morning to participate in a collaborative effort to transform six-panel pieces into a vibrant work of art that will be used to uplift those staying in the shelter. Windward understands the hardships faced by many individuals during these trying times and recognizes the importance in helping those in our community on both an individual and corporate level.
