Building a Better Community One Home at a Time
Top executives from the Triangle have joined together with Habitat for Humanity to give the opportunity of homeownership to four deserving families in Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake counties.
The participants have made financial contributions to help build one home in each county. On April 24, they volunteered on a Habitat construction site in Morrisville, and their employees will have the opportunity to work on sites in each of the four counties in the coming months.
Many thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, Wells Fargo, and our Triangle Sponsor, Cree. Read more about the project in this article from the Triangle Business Journal.
We celebrated Mother's Day early during National Women Build Week!
On Saturday, May 5, 2012, more than 50 women spent the day helping families in need make improvements to their homes. At noon, participants took a break and enjoyed a picnic lunch catered by Foster's Market. We also dedicated the 2011 Women Build House, home of Chaw Chaw Thwai and her family. After lunch, Chaw Chaw graciously invited the women to visit her newly completed home.
