This April, we’re proud to come together with the Autism Caring Center for a NAFCA Service Project that puts safety and family first.
On Friday, April 24, volunteers will be installing a black chain-link fence for a Pennsylvania family whose child is autistic and a “runner”.
This fence isn’t just steel and fabric—it’s peace of mind, protection, and the freedom for a child to safely be a child.
This is what happens when skilled trades, generous hearts, and purpose come together.
Project details provide and install approximately 600 feet of 5 foot black vinyl chain-link. This project will include two 4 foot gates and one 10 foot gate.
We will be utilizing driven post for this project; if you’ve never had an opportunity to build chain-link on a driven post, here is your chance to learn with seasoned veterans.
DATE: Friday, April 24th, 2026 – Saturday, April 25th, 2026 (if required)
LOCATION: Canonsburg, PA
PROJECT: Install 600′ of 5′ Black Chain Link and 3 Gates; Posts will be driven with hydraulic and gas-powered drivers
Materials donated by Sharon Fence, Merchant Metals, Hampden Fence, and Hurricane Fence.
