Habitat for Humanity Mid-Ohio - August 2017
On August 22, 2017, some of our office staff engaged in volunteer work to assist Habitat for Humanity Mid-Ohio. The specific project we worked on was a home that was in its early stages of construction. Our 9-person volunteer team worked on various aspects of the home-building process, including wall framing, post installation and other general framing work. Although the weather was not in our favor the latter half of the day, we all felt a great sense of accomplishment with our efforts up to that point. It was a unique experience that emphasized the aspects of teamwork and giving. We take pride in the fact that our actions will have a positive impact on the future homeowners’ lives.
