(L-R): Peabody Properties employees Encarnacion Caleron, Mark Dubos, Linda Still, Mark Regan, Kevin Jenkins, Charlene Guilmette and Diane McCauley braved the cold on January 25th to help with construction of a South Shore Habitat for Humanity home in Duxbury
A very enthusiastic team of seven volunteers from full-service real estate and property management firm Peabody Properties recently braved freezing temperatures to help construct a two-family South Shore Habitat for Humanity home in Duxbury.
The Peabody Properties “build team” participating in the January 25th construction day was comprised of all skill levels – from beginners to maintenance professionals, all working side-by-side to work on a structure that will soon be home to two local families. Some swung hammers for the first time, others tended to more complicated tasks, with all taking great pride in their achievement at the end of the long, cold day.
“This was a truly rewarding experience for our team members,” said Melissa Fish-Crane, COO of Peabody Properties, Inc. “Challenging, yes, but so very meaningful; the entire Peabody Properties family is proud of their heartfelt efforts – not only for the work they accomplished but also for their genuine desire to help others.”
