Building the Walls - Habitat for Humanity

On Saturday, June 6, employees from UPM, friends and family members joined over 700 volunteers for “Build the Walls”.  In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, volunteers met at Christ Church at Mason, in Warren County, Ohio to palletize walls for homes being constructed in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Build the Walls with Habitat for Humanity

Build the Walls is an annual event at Christ Church at Mason, constructing walls for 4-6 houses which are sent to either local communities or travel half-way across the country. UPM’s Scott Fasse and David Smith happily worked among their team members as part of the building effort.

Participating in this hands-on experience was quite uplifting for the group.  Working together as a team, and seeing such immediate physical results was just one more reason why this team plans to continue their partnership, and build more walls in the future!
