A New Partnership Beyond the Jobsite

Sunday, December 1st, 2019
Egan volunteers – Twin Cities

With the colder weather quickly approaching, Egan volunteers were ready and eager to build houses for local families in need with the help of Habitat for Humanity. This year kicks-off our new partnership with the nonprofit organization which helps build strength, stability, and self-reliance with families in need of affordable housing.

More than a dozen Egan employees spent the day building two houses located in the Twin Cities and Rochester areas. Their work beyond the jobsite has provided a place that families can now call home.

“It was a very rewarding experience,” said Megan Ring, Egan HR Coordinator. “Through Habitat for Humanity, we were able to make a positive impact while learning new skills that come along with homebuilding. At the end of the day, it was also very neat to look back at the progress our Egan team made just by volunteering on one Saturday.”

Scope of work included: installation of shed siding, measuring and chalking for housing siding installation, drip strip installation above doors, wind block installation in attic, finished basement framing, cleaning
