Day of Caring

Our Howard Hanna West Suburban office participated in a ‘Day of Caring’ where we visited a group home run by ‘Girls Hope of Pittsburgh’. Our team of agents spent the day helping out in many ways including landscaping, cleaning and maintenance.   Girls Hope is a wonderful organization that is doing important work.  I was happy to be among the Howard Hanna folks who participated and I’m looking forward to our next one!
