Whirlpool Corporation and Harbor Habitat for Humanity have completed construction on the homes built in partnership with Tynisha Murphy and the Patterson family. The builds took place on side-by-side lots in the Harbor Shores community of Benton Harbor, MI.
“We couldn’t be happier about our long-standing partnership with Whirlpool Corporation,” said Erin Hudson, executive director of Harbor Habitat for Humanity. “The dedication of the company and its tireless volunteers has truly made a difference in our community and in communities across the country.”
Through this build, and the volunteer hours the family put in, Patrick and Brunetta Patterson have achieved their goal of home ownership and improving the living situation for their three daughters and two grandchildren.
“We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to become homeowners,” said Patrick Patterson. “It has been an absolute pleasure to work side-by-side with these volunteers. Without Habitat for Humanity and Whirlpool, our dream never would have become a reality.”
The build is part of Whirlpool Corporation-sponsored Habitat builds, which took place throughout the United States in 2012. Whirlpool also sponsored homes in Amana, IA; Clyde, OH, and at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.
“We are so proud of our employees’ selfless efforts in supporting the homeownership goals of the Murphys and Pattersons,” said Tanu Grewal, senior brand manager at Whirlpool Corporation. “It’s truly great to see the results of our partnership with Habitat for Humanity, right here in our hometown.”
