'Tis the Season To Lend A Helping Hand

The bitter temperatures couldn't keep the Texas Orthopedics team from fulfilling their promise - to help build a new home for a family in need through Austin Habitat for Humanity.

While the Texas Orthopedics team is used to providing medical care or administrative assistance, they proved to be great home builders, too! Some of the projects completed for Austin Habitat included landscaping, building a fence, painting, caulking, and other home improvement projects. The result was a beautiful home for a family in need.

Austin Habitat is the largest nonprofit provider of affordable home ownership opportunities in Central Texas. The mission and vision of Austin Habitat are anchored around our dedication to ending the cycle of poverty housing and the deeply held belief that everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to live.

Many Helping Hands for Habitat Humanity

There is no better way to end a week then helping families in the Austin community. Texas Orthopedics' staff members traded their scrubs, office attire and laptops for outdoor working clothes, paint brushes and hammers as volunteers for Habitat for Humanity.

More than 30 employees helped to build a home in East Austin for a grateful family. At the end of the day, everyone was sunburned, sweaty and sore... and with huge smiles on their face. What a fulfilling day! 

Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for allowing us the opportunity to lend a helping hand.
