CHICAGO, IL, January 8, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Live Here Chicago the award-winning Chicago apartment rental agency, is supporting the Chicago affiliate of Habitat for Humanity by sponsoring a corporate volunteer day. On December 17, 2015, 10 Live Here Chicago employees spent the day giving back to the community by working at a 12-home Habitat for Humanity Chicago construction site in Chicago’s West Pullman Neighborhood.
“We have had a great 2015 and love giving back to the community,” said owner and Managing Broker of Live Here Chicago Carolyn Anavi. “We partnered with Habitat for Humanity not only for its mission of generosity in our community, but we also share a common commitment to helping people realize the American Dream.” For more than seven years Live Here Chicago has helped find Lakeview apartments, Lincoln Park apartments, and Edgewater apartments and everywhere in between for Chicago renters and new home buyers.
The work assigned to Live Here Chicago’s 10 volunteers incorporated a number of homebuilding tasks including painting, landscaping, clean up, prepping for the beginning of the next home to be built in this block-spanning project in the 11900 block of South Union in the West Pullman Neighborhood.
Live Here Chicago also made a substantial financial contribution that will go directly to the purchasing of materials and supplies used in construction. The 10 volunteers represented every department in the company from administration, marketing, executives, new home sales, and residential rentals.
