Habitat for Humanity Taos today announced that Huron Consulting
Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a provider of business consulting services,
will participate in a weeklong Habitat for Humanity Global Village
build in Taos, N.M., Sept. 28-Oct. 2.
Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer
travel program engaging volunteers to build and renovate homes and
to help create decent, sustainable communities around the
world.
“Habitat for Humanity welcomes Huron for their weeklong build in
Taos,” said Cynthia Arvidson, executive director, Habitat for
Humanity of Taos. “We are thrilled to partner with Huron and
appreciate their dedication to make a difference in the community
building affordable homes with partner families.”
In Taos, 90 percent of residents cannot afford homes of their
own. Habitat for Humanity Taos takes on this challenge by building
wood-frame or adobe block houses. Volunteers help in all aspects of
new construction: digging foundations, framing, roofing, installing
windows and doors, appliances, insulation, sheet rock, painting and
finish work.
“I am proud to be part of an organization where employees
volunteer a week of their time to give back to the community. It is
a testament to our employees’ dedication and is what makes Huron
special,” said Mark Hussey, chief operating officer and chief
financial officer, Huron Consulting Group. “We are proud to work
with Habitat for Humanity and help achieve their goal of creating
affordable housing.”
Huron employees have participated in numerous Habitat for
Humanity community service activities across the country since
2009. Huron provides time off and travel arrangements for employees
who take part in the build. Habitat for Humanity is one of Huron’s
civic partners, which the company supports through matching gifts,
sponsorships and employee volunteerism.
Huron’s ongoing commitment to the community brings employees
together by helping others through its Huron Helping Hands program.
In addition to the community service projects that Huron
participates in throughout the year, the company also coordinates
an annual Day of Service where employees receive the day off to
participate in philanthropic service projects. As part of the 2015
Day of Service, Huron and its employees partnered with more than 60
different charitable and nonprofit organizations in more than 25
locales around the world.
