MATRIX Helps Paint the Town for Atlanta Community ToolBank.

The MATRIX Atlanta office traded in their khakis and high-heels to give back to the community. The team headed down to assist the Atlanta Community ToolBank in helping revamp Miss Idela's home. "Our group worked really hard, but had a lot of fun," says Brent Anderson, who coordinated the event. "We completely ran out of primer and paint, so I think we met the ToolBank's expectations of us."
