Roland Employees Volunteer for Habitat For Humanity

IRVINE, CA - Employees of Irvine-based Roland DGA Corporation recently teamed with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County to help construct much needed affordable housing for local families.

The two-day company-sponsored volunteer project took place in August at Habitat’s Fullerton, California job site, involving 28 employees from Roland’s accounting, information systems, marketing and product management departments for both the Color Products and Advanced Solutions Divisions.

“It is our pleasure to contribute to a worthwhile organization such as Habitat for Humanity,” said Bob Curtis, Roland president and CEO. “The experience brought our own organization closer together while allowing us to reach out into the community and make a difference in the lives of others. We look forward to our next opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity.”

During the project, Roland employees assisted with plumbing and underground electrical installations, as well as various preparations required to install dry wall and attach roof trusses. Roland employees served along with the home owners who are required to contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” to receive a home.

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County is dedicated to ending substandard housing and building strong communities in Orange County. Habitat uses non-government donations of funding, materials, professional services and volunteer labor to build simple, decent homes which are sold to qualified low-income families for a 1% down payment, closing costs, and a zero-interest mortgage. Mortgage payments are recycled to build more Habitat homes. Habitat families contribute 500 hours of “sweat equity” to the program by building their own home, helping another Habitat family build a home, or working in some other area of the Habitat organization. Habitat for Humanity families and volunteers have built 122 homes in Orange County since 1988, and have begun construction on four homes in Anaheim and two homes in Fullerton.

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. For more information, please call (714) 434-6200 extension 200, or visit our Web site at http://habitatoc.org.
