Media event for the kickoff of a new Habitat home – Monday, September 17
On Monday September 17, Twin Cities Habitat will dedicate a home built by Carlson volunteers at 2210 Irving Avenue North and officially kickoff another Carlson-sponsored home next door.
“This is a neighborhood that is growing stronger every day,” says Minneapolis City Councilman Don Samuels, who lives down the street from these Habitat homes. “Families are moving in and there is real positive energy that is being generated here.”
“Carlson is a great example of a Minnesota company that is truly dedicated to giving back and building community,” says Susan Haigh, CEO and President of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
“Carlson’s employee volunteers are proud to be a partner of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, an organization that does so much good for so many in our community,” says Trudy Rautio, Carlson President and CEO.
Please come and cover this positive story about a neighborhood where residents are standing up and standing together for safe, decent homes to raise their children in.
