ALPHARETTA, GA (July 11, 2019) Members from Atlanta’s business community, including IT and creative staffing firm, Synergis, have been picking up hammers and drills to rehab an older home alongside an Atlanta Habitat for Humanity homebuyer in Center Hill, Georgia.

Working under the direction of Atlanta Habitat, volunteers addressed affordable housing, a key factor in helping people break multi-generational poverty and achieve stability. On June 28, 2019, the house was dedicated and ready for the family to move in.

Participating Georgia companies contributed $80,000 to build the house, including the addition of a bathroom, and provided 300 volunteers, who worked over the course of the 56 hours on the build site. Businesses that participated in the build included: 3Ci, BrandSafway, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Inspire Brands, InterContinental Hotels Group, Landis+Gyr, Presidio Networked Solutions, Pyramid Consulting, Southern Company, Synergis and Voya Financial.

“Volunteering gives us the opportunity to connect with the community, other Atlanta businesses and coworkers,” said Doug Ross, president and founder of Synergis. “It is inspiring to see people unite around a common goal. As an organization, we are committed to building a better community, which is why I also encourage employees to serve. Atlanta Habitat helps us to do that and we look forward to it every year!”
