Habitat for Humanity |
Thanks to support from Office Depot and the Office Depot Foundation, Dora Shiver and her four young children were able to move into a new Habitat for Humanity home in Delray Beach, Fla., in early 2007.
Local volunteers and Office Depot associates from South Florida participated in the build throughout the six-month period.
"This home that Office Depot and Habitat for Humanity built for my family is a dream come true," said Shiver.
"My children and I are very thankful and excited to be moving into our very own home. We feel very lucky to have such caring friends at Office Depot and Habitat for Humanity."
