On Tuesday, April 12 and Tuesday, April 26, teams from both Structural Graphics and SG’s online offering, Red Paper Plane, traded paper for wood at a build for Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven. Picking up saws, power tools and post-hole diggers, employees braved the rain while assisting the Habitat team on a new house project in the Westville area of New Haven.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that works to provide affordable housing to individuals and families around the world. Partnering with volunteers, Habitat has created and improved housing conditions for tens of thousands of families. Projects include home repair jobs such as painting, caulking and replacing doors or windows. Sometimes builds even involve the entire homebuilding process.

“I am so proud of Structural Graphics’ support of Raise the Roof and Habitat for Humanity for so many years,” said Michael Maguire, CEO of Structural Graphics. “Working side-by-side with a hard working family to help them realize their American dream is gratifying and important work. Through financial support, volunteer labor and countless contributions of signage and graphics for Habitat’s fundraising the events, Structural Graphics has set a wonderful example of giving back to our community – locally and around the world.”

Other organizations Structural Graphics supports include: Bikes for Kids; High Hopes Therapeutic Riding Academy; American Cancer Society; New London Homeless Coalition; The Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries; The Autism Walk; The CURE for Breast Cancer and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
