WWHGD Builds Habitat for Humanity House
07/23/2004
As part
of the second annual Habitat for Humanity Buildable Hours project, lawyers and
staff from Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial LLC wielded paint brushes
and hammers to help build a house for a needy family. About 20 firm representatives
donated their Saturday on July 23, 2004, to make the dream of homeownership
a reality. In addition to contributing their sweat equity, the law firm donated
$5,000 as part of its sponsorship of this program, which challenges Atlanta
law firms and corporate law departments to participate in a Habitat for Humanity
build.
"It
was such a wonderful experience to work alongside your colleagues in a whole
new way," explained Jennifer Bradford, an associate with WWHGD who coordinated
the firm's involvement. "We will definitely answer the call for construction
duty again next year," added firm managing partner Skip Hudgins.
It is especially meaningful for lawyers and their firms to play a part in this organizations exemplary community outreach, since Habitat for Humanity was founded by a lawyer, Millard Fuller. Below are some of the firm's "day laborers."
