New Wheels for Sandtown Habitat

Sandtown Habitat for Humanity has been using the same flat bed pick up truck for 14 years. While they considered getting a second truck, in case their current one kicks the bucket, they haven't been able to afford it. The Michael Group happened to have a truck that wasn't being used and was taking up valuable garage space at our office. Michael Shacklette, hoping to donate the truck to a local non-profit, reached out to Patty Prasada-Rao, our partner at New Song Urban Ministries. Turns out, it was a good fit.

Last Tuesday, the Michael Group donated a truck to Sandtown Habitat. The truck will be used by Habitat staff for purchasing/picking up building materials, getting materials from the warehouse to the various houses in our 15 square block focus area, receiving items that are donated to the ReStore, and much more. The Habitat construction staff will be sharing the truck with the electrical crew to help transport equipment and materials to the houses being rehabbed.
