Team members construct Habitat for Humanities homes with Ascend Cares in Chocolate Bayou, Decatur
Team members at two Ascend Performance Materials sites are contributing labor to Habitat for Humanities homes.
Volunteers at Ascend's Chocolate Bayou site near Alvin, Texas, broke ground this month on their second Habitat for Humanity home. As the fourth Habitat house built on Ascend sites in the past several years, this house, like the previous three, is funded entirely by the Ascend Cares Foundation.
The majority of the building will take place on-site at Ascend during the next several weeks before the house is moved to its permanent location in Texas City.
Future homeowner Cristina Tobias joined Ascend volunteers at the ceremony and immediately began working side by side with others in starting construction on her new home. The plan is to hand the keys to this new home to Tobias and her children in time for them move in before Christmas.
Meanwhile, Ascend team members in Decatur, Alabama, continue construction on a Habitat house being built for Pablo Montano, who along with his two children currently lives with his mother, his sister and his sister's two children. "It's going to provide our own space. My son and daughter will have their own room instead of having to share," Montano told WAAY 31 news at the project's groundbreaking ceremony last month.
Following about six weeks of construction on-site at Ascend, the house was moved earlier this month to its permanent location.
