Hendrick Durham Auto Mall
was a big part of a big event Saturday, showing that community affairs are as important to the dealership as selling vehicles.

General Manager Doug Harbison as well as several other managers and employees participated in the final day of Habitat for Humanity's national week-long Home Blitz. They provided food and drinks and served lunch Saturday to the many local volunteers and other participants who braved scorching temperatures to build homes for several fortunate families.

Habitat of Durham joined with partners in Orange, Durham and Chatham Counties to build 10 homes in just five days across the three counties.

The blitz began on May 31, 2008 and ended Saturday at Hope Crossing in East Durham with a dedication ceremony that included a new community garden and playground.

Saturday's event epitomized our dealership's commitment to promoting and supporting our community.

The day was not about money or business. It was about seeing smiles on people's faces and the satisfaction of changing lives.

The national week-long blitz was the largest Habitat project of its kind and gave many low-income families the opportunity for homeownership in communities across the nation. All homes were completed from start to finish in one week.

The final home to be completed in Durham marked Habitat of Durham's 200th home.
