Why We Volunteer With Richmond's Habitat for Humanity

Katelyn Lewis • July 25, 2022

Why do we volunteer with Richmond's Habitat for Humanity?

We love their mission to provide housing for local families and their vision for creating a world in which everyone has a decent place to live. They seek to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope.


Spending a day each month on a Habitat Build site helps to recenter our team on why we do what we do. At Retex, we focus on educating homeowners on their home's exteriors so they can make insightful decisions on how to best-protect their homes. We also wanted to build a company that helps build up its community.


We also love the opportunity to get the team together, working side by side to help build those homes. Plus, as we like to joke, Dunkin' is on Retex's tab each time we volunteer.


Please check out www.richmondhabitat.org to learn more about this awesome organization, and let us know if you'd like to join us on our next volunteer day in August.
