Services Representative, and Jeff Herman, Business Banking
Specialist, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in September.
Freedom staffers joined Habitat for Humanity
Susquehanna to help out on a local demolition project. The home project, located in Edgewood, required clearing out the trash and debris, removing trim, tearing up the flooring, ripping out the kitchen cabinets, and creating a clean site for the renovation inside and out. The dirty work was done to help local residents buy safe, affordable housing in our area. It was a gratifying experience for the volunteers.
Other Freedom employees who helped with this volunteer effort included: Kelly Berends, Marcus Johnson, Rachel Schmidt, Susan Tannahill, Bob Wehland, and Andrea Woodard.
