Employee volunteers from Range Resources Corporation recently completed a remodeling project at Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern PA’s (DVSSP’s) Washington Safe House. The project included new paint, furniture, a new television, window treatments, area rug, and décor for the entry area and common living space at the safe house. Range also donated a new table and chairs for the safe house kitchen. The project was funded by Range Resources and the work was completed by a team of Range employee volunteers.

Range Resources volunteers, led by Corporate Communications Specialist and project lead Nina Pompeani (holding plaque) celebrated the completion of the Washington Safe House remodeling project with DVSSP CEO Lisa G. Hannum (3rd from left) and Director of Community Outreach Cherish Diviney (5th from left).

“Our employee volunteers were inspired by DVSSP’s mission and really wanted to make the living area a place of comfort for the community,” said Range Corporate Communications Specialist and project lead Nina Pompeani. “Most of the volunteer hours were contributed by members of our women employee resource group, RENEW, which was a great way for the group to serve other women and hopefully empower them along the way.”

DVSSP’s Washington Safe House provides a safe place to go for anyone experiencing abuse in a relationship. While staying at the safe house, DVSSP staff provide counseling, referrals, and support services to help clients transition into their own home.

“This has been an incredible transformation for our Washington Safe House,” said DVSSP Director of Community Outreach Cherish Diviney. “The new space is so fresh and bright and will be so comforting for our clients during what is typically a very difficult time in their lives.” 

“Our clients have told me that this new space makes them feel at peace, and gives them somewhere to relax that isn’t their room.” added Diviney. “The beautiful new space will also create an extra feeling of pride for our staff.”
