CAMDEN, NJ, June 21, 2017 /3BL Media/ - Camden County Habitat for Humanity and Subaru of America, Inc. volunteers recently raised the walls on a new house on Royden Street, in Camden, New Jersey. Tom Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. and 12 Subaru volunteers joined Camden County Habitat for Humanity, on June 16, to begin building a new home and a bright future for The Martinez Family, Jessica, her six-year-old son Ethan and baby girl arriving in September. Jessica is a single parent, who works a full-time job and goes to school. She is looking forward to having a place for her kids to call home. A place where Ethan can share his love of sports with his new sister.

At the commencement of the day-long event, Jeff Mihalek, executive director, Camden County Habitat welcomed Subaru, future Habitat homeowner Jessica Martinez, and Brittani Bailey, current Habitat homeowner, and thanked Subaru for their generous support in making this home build possible. Continuing its more than 30 years of work in the Camden community, the Habitat team declared the day’s build as a success with all exterior walls raised, and set in place.

Tom Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc., who got his hands dirty assisting in the build stated his support of Habitat and the Camden community, “We partner with Habitat because we believe in investing in our communities and in helping drive opportunity for our neighbors. We are proud to support the city of Camden, the city of our future home in a variety of ways, including helping to provide a deserving family a new home.”

Habitat is working to complete this home by the end of September 2017, with the continued help of Subaru volunteers.
