Over several decades, their team members have enthusiastically helped support the local organizations who need us most, not just financially but with their volunteer time and efforts as well. We are grateful for the generosity of Knauf’s employees who have made SCUFFY stronger and Shelby County a better place to live, work, and play,” said Alecia Gross, Executive Director of SCUFFY.
