Corporate Crews Make a Difference

On Thursday, September 29, a crew of employees from GlaxoSmithKline spent their day beautifying our ReStore and completing landscaping work at a Habitat home on Lansing’s south side. Volunteers generously donated landscaping materials to help us get the job done!

On Saturday, October 1, crews of employees from Accident Fund volunteered at the new Habitat house at 3301 Danbury Crossroad in Lansing. The employees prepped the walls for paint and applied the primer.
