Glendora Resident Gives Back To Community With New Mural

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — A community mural painted by a Gloucester Township resident was recently unveiled on the exterior wall at ServPro of Gloucester Township.

It was painted by Glendora resident and local artist Gianna Vennell, who painted the mural in less than two weeks.

Vennell came up with the idea for the mural “as a thank you to everyone who makes this town/township what it is,” in the beginning of August, according to township officials.

Vennell, who won the Gloucester Township “Woman Who Makes a Difference” award for her Hats for the Homeless charity in 2013, raised $900 in supplies thanks to donations from Glendora residents, officials said. She and more than 20 volunteers completed the project in less than two weeks.

“My husband and I were there painting five hours each day. We wanted to create a gathering place for our residents,” Vennell said.

The wall was donated by ServPro, a company specializing in residential and commercial restoration and cleaning services. ServPro is located at 226 Chestnut Street.
