MarineMax supports townhome build
OLDSMAR – MarineMax celebrated the dedication of its eighth and ninth homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, supporting two families as they worked toward homeownership.
Each year, employees from across the company trade their desks for tool belts, working side by side with Habitat families to frame, paint and build homes from the ground up.
“Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity is one of the most meaningful things we do,” said Beth Garland, senior vice president of people strategy at MarineMax. “Getting to know the families, rolling up our sleeves and building something together – it’s incredibly rewarding for all of us.”
This year’s homeowners are a preschool director with three daughters as well as a dialysis technician and mother of eight.
