Henkel helps Habitat for Humanity in Detroit
A team of 30 Henkel volunteers from their Madison Heights, Michigan, facility — and colleagues visiting from across the region — helped the Oakland County Habitat for Humanity chapter build a duplex to benefit two deserving families.
“We are so grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the local community. Claire Loria and all the staff at Habitat for Humanity made us feel welcome and true partners in lending a helping hand to improve the quality of life for deserving families,” said Angela Curley, senior manager of corporate citizenship and DEI at Henkel.
The Henkel team worked closely with Habitat for Humanity staff to cut siding, mix cement, install stone trim and more.
Beyond the build site, said the firm, the team helped move and sort inventory and building supplies at Habitat’s ReStore facility, which sells donated building materials, appliances, and furniture to help fund home builds.
For more than eight years, Henkel teams have been a steady source of hands-on help in Habitat’s mission to build hope, homes and community. Henkel said it backs their sweat equity with financial support and donations of equipment and products.
The build in Detroit is just one example from the company.
“At Henkel, we are united by our desire to help others — to be pioneers for the good of generations,” said Clayton Sinclair, director of DEI and corporate citizenship.
“We applaud the work they do at Habitat for Humanity to make home ownership possible for families who would not otherwise be able to afford it. And we are proud of the employees who roll up their sleeves to help,” said Sinclair.
