On April 23, 2024, a team of KLG employees volunteered at the current Old Colony Habitat for Humanity build in Norton, MA. As a sponsor of the build, having a team build day is way to continue to give back to the project and involve more employees. Employees from the Bridgewater and Milton offices joined Old Colony Habitat for Humanity volunteers in painting and laying vinyl flooring. KLG Talent Acquisition Specialist, Lauren Harrington, SHRM-SCP said, "I feel fortunate to have had this opportunity to become involved with Habitat for Humanity. The project leaders were very welcoming and great instructors." KLG is a Foundation Sponsor of the build that broke ground on June 1, 2023. Thank you to Lauren, Lorna Carroll, Larissa Chartier, Randi Nielsen, Sean McEachern, Haleigh R., Jessica Lema, and Mike Danubio for volunteering!

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the complexities of daily life, often overlooking the simple yet profound impact of gratitude. It is powerful practice that that can transform our outlook, relationships, and overall well-being. Volunteering and helping others is one of several ways to cultivate gratitude as it can remind us of the things we often take for granted. On a hot day in Dallas in July, working on a house for Habitat for Humanity alongside my colleagues offered a perfect opportunity to reflect on the challenges many people face when it comes to homeownership, now more than any other time. Following the last Recession, homeownership opportunities decreased because of a lack of supply and because of tighter credit. Since then, new housing production has not kept up with demand, resulting in a steep increase in home prices, especially for homes in lower price tiers. Low interest rates before the recent hike lowered borrowers’ monthly payments, but higher home prices have increased the size of the down payments required. Now, both high home prices and high interest rates have significantly worsened mortgage affordability. For young people who may have lived with family for some time or for those with moderate incomes, accessibility is more limited than ever, and it is even harder for families of color and single women due to systemic bias. We know that access to housing plays a crucial role in health and wellbeing and also builds a foundation for wealth-building through equity growth. The work and advocacy that Habitat for Humanity provides helps overcome these barriers, supports strong and stable communities, revitalizes neighborhoods, and in partnership with families, makes homeownership more accessible. I feel very privileged to have had this opportunity to support such a worthy case and to have executed it with the high-performing and dedicated team from Smart Data Solutions! I am grateful to be working with you all and I look forward to our next adventure. #Gratitude #Community #GivingBack #HabitatForHumanity #Volunteering #TeamBuilding #BuildingBetterLives

Working together on such a meaningful project has brought us closer and reinforced our commitment to making a positive impact.

🌟 Introducing Successful Volunteer Sessions at Castle Grounds and the Cemetery! 🌟 I'm thrilled to announce that this year, one of my projects has been to introduce volunteer sessions for two of our beloved open spaces: the Castle Grounds and the Cemetery. 💚 Castle Grounds: Our volunteers have done a fantastic job maintaining and beautifying this historic site. Their efforts ensure that the grounds remain a peaceful and inviting place for everyone to enjoy. 🌸 Cemetery: Here, volunteers have been instrumental in preserving the dignity and tranquillity of the space. Their work helps honour the memory of those laid to rest and provides a serene environment for visitors. Volunteering is more than just lending a hand; it's about building a community, fostering a sense of ownership, and making a positive impact. It's a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and gain a sense of fulfilment from contributing to something meaningful. 🙏 Why Encourage Volunteering? Community Building: Volunteering brings people together from diverse backgrounds, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. Personal Growth: It offers opportunities to learn, grow, and develop new skills. Mental Well-being: Helping others can boost your mood and provide a sense of accomplishment. Environmental Stewardship: Volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining and improving our green spaces for future generations. #Volunteering #Community #CastleGrounds #Cemetery #GivingBack #CommunityService #VolunteerImpact #Sustainability #MentalWellBeing #EnvironmentalStewardship
