Habitat for Humanity sends fleet to help in Sandy recovery

Habitat for Humanity recently sent a fleet of 24 Habitat Mobile Response Units to help communities rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.

The units will help people in New York and New Jersey. Estimates of the damage caused by the storm range from $35 billion to $50 billion. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Habitat for Humanity International launched a multi-phase response to help affected communities called, “Repair. Rebuild. Restore.”

Chevrolet donated the Express C-20 Panel Vans that will be specially outfitted with tools and equipment donated by Lowe’s and the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation at a stop in Charlotte.
