Advisory: Habitat and MetLife Build Big for Long Island Family

BELLPORT, N.Y., August 7, 2015 /3BL Media/ - An annual tradition, volunteers from Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk and MetLife Foundation will come together to build a new, and more comfortable, home in partnership with the Miranda family in Bellport. Volunteers, equipped with hard hats and hammers, will begin construction by erecting the frames of both the interior walls and roof creating a stable structure for this young couple and their children.

MetLife’s Patchogue office opened in January, and employees have been working feverishly to make a positive impact on the community. Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk has had a successful global partnership with the MetLife Foundation for more than 20 years. Through the work of Habitat, thousands of low-income families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing.
