guest blogger: bentley prince street

Even when times get tough, a good company knows that community service and corporate citizenship are central to running a successful business. With this in mind, Bentley Prince Street participated in a Habitat for Humanity build on Saturday, August 22nd. Nine Bentley Prince Street associates and their families helped to paint the trim on 4 houses in Monrovia. It’s amazing how much difference paint makes on a home! By the end of the day, the homes almost looked complete. The best part of the day was talking to the Habitat homeowners putting in some of their 500 hours of sweat equity. They told me that since breaking ground on the homes 6 months ago, they have worked every Saturday and have seen their first home develop before their eyes. They were really excited about the progress and appreciative of the volunteers who came out to help. This is the reason I love participating in Habitat builds - the sense of accomplishment and pride I feel by working alongside a family and helping them achieve their goal of safe, affordable housing. I think I speak for all of the Bentley Prince Street associates that participated when I say the event was truly rewarding and we are grateful to have the experience!
