CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A local teen’s service project is making a big difference for kids with disabilities.
Michael Buck just completed his Eagle Scout project, where he rebuilt the entire playground at Shining Hope Farms in Charlotte.
“I have a lot of trust in this organization, and I’m honored to have built this for them,” said Buck.
The farm provides therapeutic service for individuals with disabilities.
It took Buck more than a year to complete the project.
“I mean, this took over a year, so any sort of commitment to any sort of project to help with the community is very beneficial for anyone around,” said Buck.
He raised more than $1,000, and Lowe’s helped with donated materials. Any money left over, Buck donated to the farm.
