Whirlpool Corporation's Partnership with Habitat for Humanity
Inspiring Hope & Building Lives, One Home at a Time
Whirlpool Corporation has joined architects, builders and thousands of volunteers in providing decent and affordable housing for families in need. Through its partnership with Habitat for Humanity® International (HFHI), the company demonstrates its commitment to community and society.
Whirlpool has extensively supported Habitat -- both in the United States and internationally -- through a number of ways. The company donates an ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerator and range to every Habitat home in North America. And, every year more than 1000 Whirlpool Corporation employees volunteer their time to support Habitat.
Additionally, Whirlpool continues to strengthen its commitment through involvement in several of Habitat's major initiatives such as Operation Home Delivery, Home Builders Blitz 2006 and the Jimmy Carter Work Project.
