Suffolk Cares

In the midst of construction of the Jade Signature luxury condominium tower, Suffolk’s project team chose to set aside time for a project a little more humbling.  A few weeks ago, 10 Suffolk members joined with Habitat for Humanity to help three families in need.  Habitat for Humanity is an international organization bringing hope to low income families by building maintainable housing for these families to live in.  With that being said, this was the perfect way for Suffolk team members to give back to the community and show their expertise while doing it.  The Suffolk team spent all day painting and roofing three neighboring houses in the Pompano area.  Pam Marshall, one of the 10 members who participated in this event, commented, “We’re all so fortunate, and we were just trying to find an opportunity to give back to our community and know we made a tangible difference in the lives of three families that will live here.”  This project was a great team building effort and Suffolk is currently on the wait list for the next opportunity to help out.
