Giving back to Hurricane Irma victims
Although it’s been more than a year since Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Florida Keys, many people are still recovering from the devastation. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity, a group of 16 CHG employees were able to help with recovery projects, including rebuilding homes damaged during the storm.
“This experience not only had an impact on the families we were able to help out but on us as well,” says Eddie Rodriguez, corporate events manager at CHG. “In fact, we were so moved by this experience that some of the group members are planning to do their own individual trips to help out even more.”

Giving Houston a helping hand
The Houston community is also still working to rebuild after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. To provide some relief, 18 CHG volunteers spent the week in Houston working with All Hands and Hearts, an organization that supports the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. The group helped to rebuild four homes in a neighborhood that experienced floods reaching more than six feet in height.
