The Manderly Group

Josh Dolgin, co-founder of The Manderly Group hired a father-son trio of refugees as carpenters to help with long term apartment renovation projects.

"Anyone who comes to work with The Manderly Group, they’re our guys. Myself and the other employees feel that--we’re all a family, a team. And the new guys from RefugeeOne, they fit right in."
