When I worked in Boston I organized a company event for habitat for humanity. First year was great, we worked on a house all day, paid HforH somewhere between 1k and 5k (i cannot remember). A year later we returned to the same site. But... the house we worked on the year before wasnt finished yet...
That kind of blue my mind. I always wondered whether the money donated by companies would have been better used to just hire contractors.
- gamblor956 7y agoIt actually does go to hire contractors. The dirty not-so-hidden secret is that HFH sets aside houses for volunteers to work on. The majority of HFH houses are actually built by contractors without any volunteers messing shit up.
- wtvanhest 7y agoah, that makes sense, but also feels pretty lame overall. I definitely won't volunteer again or org anything for them.
