Habitat for Humanity Day

Habitat for Humanity has a great program to help low income families along the path of home ownership. The cool thing about the program is that its not just a giveaway. The families are required to work 400 hours on other homes before they become eligible for their own home construction. The homes aren’t free to them either. They pay a zero interest mortgage.

Last Saturday our team was fortunate to be involved in this program. We helped build a home in East Austin. Our keyboard jocks did quite well away from the computer…Joel worked the circular saw, Blake was in charge of cement making and pouring, Marcus helped put up soffit. Glad to report no recordable injuries and everyone had a good time. To learn how you or your company can get involved find your local chapter from their main page: www.habitat.org.
