“We are grateful for EXIT Realty’s continued support,” said Larry Gluth, senior vice president, U.S. and Canada, Habitat for Humanity International. “Because of partnerships like this, we are able to help build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.”
EXIT Realty has contributed not only cash donations to Habitat but also thousands of volunteer hours to assist in fundraising and construction.
