Callahan Construction Joins South Shore Habitat for Humanity for National Women Build Week

BRIDGEWATER—Callahan Construction Managers recently partnered with South Shore Habitat for Humanity and local volunteers as part of Habitat for Humanity’s 10th annual National Women Build Week. To shed light on the homeownership challenges that many women face, the campaign invites women to devote at least one day to help build affordable housing in their local communities. More than 17,000 women volunteered at construction sites across the country to aid the effort.

“We thank our corporate partners and volunteers who participated in our 10th annual National Women Build Week,” says Martine Taylor, Executive Director of South Shore Habitat for Humanity. With the Women Build Week taking place across the country, the local chapter appreciated the help of Callahan and other volunteers to contribute to the vast national effort.“This is a great opportunity for women of all skill levels to come together to help a family build a decent and affordable place they can call home. We are grateful to Callahan for their financial and volunteer support of our Stoughton project.”

Callahan was happy to take part in the effort and leave an impact. “As a leading builder in the region, we value the opportunity to donate our time and skills to those who need it most throughout the community,” notes Patrick Callahan, President of Callahan. As a longtime supporter of Habitat for Humanity and its efforts to support the availability of affordable housing, Callahan especially enjoyed participating in this campaign. “We are proud to continue our support of South Shore Habitat for Humanity through hands-on involvement that helps those in need achieve home ownership,” adds Callahan. Over the past years, Callahan also sponsored the American Dream Breakfast for Habitat for Humanity, which honors those who have been partners in Habitat’s mission to build affordable homes for low-income families.

In addition to their ongoing commitment to “Safety at Every Step”, Callahan has also pledged to support community involvement efforts in the Greater Boston Area through their Constructing Communities program. Callahan engages in community outreach efforts such as buying locally, training/work programs with local schools, volunteering with local nonprofits and charities and sponsoring community events such as National Women Build Week. The Constructing Communities program reflects the family culture of Callahan. Employees value the opportunity to give back to the community to support the economy and inspire young people to get involved locally.
