Johns Manville Employees Participate with Habitat for Humanity
DENVER — On Sept. 13, 2012, approximately 20 employees of Johns Manville (JM) came together with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver to build one-third of a triplex home in Lakewood, Colo. JM donated almost 50,000 square feet of insulation to the triplex project, as well as a variety of accessory items for a total donation equaling almost $16,000.
The idea for the JM/Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver project came as employees in the corporate Supply Chain department were brainstorming ideas for a team-building activity. Employees expressed a desire to participate in a “Build Day”, and once activity leader Olivia Carlson contacted the local Habitat office, it became clear that the project would be a perfect fit for JM.
