BDG23 PRELUDE Fall 2019

Snow and Jones, Inc. jumps in to help
CCALS (Compassionate Care ALS) with their
new Retreat Center in Falmouth.
A Fixture in the Community
When Snow and Jones, Inc. was asked to support
the plumbing for CCALS’ (Compassionate Care ALS)
new Retreat Center in Falmouth, they were honored
but not surprised. In business since 1952 as a familyowned
plumbing and heating supply
company, it wasn’t the first time
they’d donated their expertise. “We
have eight locations on the South
Shore and Cape Cod that have
been actively involved in many area
charities, including the Cape Cod
Military Family Support Foundation,”
says Danielle Jones, vice president of
business development. Snow and Jones
facilitated donations and discounts of
over $70,000 in plumbing products for
the Retreat Center, working together
with Whitely Plumbing, Edgewater
Plumbing and Tim Brown Plumbing. Cataldo Custom
Builders of Falmouth managed the construction of the fully
accessible ALS respite and educational facility.
“We selected all Kohler products because Kohler is
involved in a lot of charitable projects and has a large
selection of ADA compatible options that are also high

Snow and Jones is doing
a considerable number of
ADA-compatible high design
projects like this for people who
want to stay in their homes as

their baths to resemble those
of a nursing home.
look, bath fixtures are brushed nickel or polished chrome
(some faucets have hands-free sensors), lively tile accent
colors enhance white subway tiles, easy-care quartz crowns
the countertops, and all showers have hand showers. In
addition to respite accommodations
for caregivers, there are two suites with
kitchenettes and one room with a bath
that is fully accessible to wheelchairbound
ALS patients. Founder and
executive director of CCALS Ron
Hoffman maintains that everyone
who has been in has been wowed.
“The design and all the fixtures are
extraordinarily beautiful,” he says.
Jones sees beauty in the collaboration.
“I loved seeing everyone coming
together so selflessly to get everything
done in the most timely and cost-effective fashion possible
to create this beautiful new center,” she says. “The Center
is an amazing asset to Cape Cod, and Snow and Jones
was thrilled to be a part of such a necessary and incredible
project.” To learn more about the ALS Center, visit
