ATLANTA — Rheem, the Atlanta-based HVAC manufacturer, culminated a month of celebrations for its 100th anniversary with a home-build sponsorship and dedication ceremony on June 28 in partnership with Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.
“ A Passion for Possibilities’ and ‘Commitment to Partnership’ are two of Rheem’s pillars for our centennial year and serve as the foundation for bringing teams together to make a meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work,” said Dipa Homer, executive vice president for global human resources and communications at Rheem, in a press release.
Rheem donated and installed a new water heater and HVAC unit while dozens of its metropolitan Atlanta-based employees volunteered in the building and landscaping process. The new homeowner, Michael, a father of five and a military veteran, has lived in Atlanta for nearly a decade.
“Rheem has a strong commitment to supporting veterans and veteran-focused organizations,” said Alex Housten, COO at Rheem. “We are honored to participate in the home build and dedication ceremony for this deserving family and support Atlanta Habitat for Humanity in its mission to revitalize neighborhoods and empower families through homeownership.”
The project was made possible through the Atlanta Habitat for Humanity Builders Blitz Build, an annual event during which local construction and industry professionals unite to construct multiple homes in a short time frame.
