CertainTeed Gypsum Supports Two Local Habitat for Humanity Families
(Tampa, Fla.) – CertainTeed Gypsum teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Belmont County to help two deserving families realize the dream of homeownership. Located in Bellaire, Ohio, the two homes feature CertainTeed® Regular and Moisture Resistant Gypsum Board that was donated by the company.
“Habitat for Humanity has a strong tradition of building quality homes for families and CertainTeed’s wallboard products are a perfect fit,” says Dennis Watson, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Belmont County. “On behalf of our Board of Directors, volunteers and partner families, we are thankful to CertainTeed for their support.”
The homes were completed and the Cummings and Stackhouse families moved in last fall.
“We are pleased to partner with Habitat for Humanity and commend their efforts to improve Belmont County,” said Amy Lee, marketing communications manager for CertainTeed Gypsum. “Our wallboard products will help contribute to a healthy, comfortable home for many years to come.”
