DALLAS, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T1
Digital Life ®, a home security and automation service, and Habitat
for Humanity are continuing their collaboration to rebuild and
revitalize communities around the U.S. This effort will kick off in
Los Angeles on Thursday, May 28, with local AT&T employee
volunteers helping build a Habitat home in partnership with a
low-income family. AT&T Digital Life is planning to support
local builds in five cities across the country including:
Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and Newark. These builds will take place
throughout the month of June as AT&T Digital Life continues to
give back and support local communities.
Digital Life, which offers home security and automation services
to customers, continues efforts with Habitat for Humanity to help
bring people together to build homes, communities and hope. To
amplify these efforts, AT&T will donate $150,000 to support Habitat for Humanity's
mission.
"I'm proud to be a part of this team. With more than 100
AT&T employees volunteering to participate in these builds
around the country, there is no question that we believe in this
mission," said Kevin Petersen,
senior vice president of AT&T Digital Life. "Digital Life knows
home means a great deal to so many in our local communities. Home
is where the heart is, and Digital Life is excited to support
building and securing these communities."
"Habitat for Humanity is so grateful to AT&T for supporting
our affordable housing work for a second year of partnership," said
Colleen Finn Ridenhour, deputy
director of Corporate, Foundation & Institutional Relations at
Habitat for Humanity International. "The combination of
corporate donations and employee volunteerism reinforces Digital
Life's commitment to community service and enhancing their local
communities and we are honored the company developed an opportunity
for customers to impact Habitat's affordable housing work as
well."
