Findlay Habitat for Humanity Ground Breaking Ceremony
On March 27, 2013, the Whirlpool Corporation Findlay Division held a ground breaking ceremony as the start of what will be a Habitat for Humanity home. The house will become the home for Ashley Reinhart and her children, Cameron and Isabella.
Construction on the home will begin on May 17 with a foundation preparation day. Then, the home will be built from June 1-14. This will be the fourth Habitat for Humanity home built by the Findlay Division, all on land donated by Whirlpool Corporation.
