The Gulf South Is Not Just A Workplace, It Is Our Home
Following Hurricane Katrina, in addition to rebuilding their own lives, DonahueFavret employees reached out to the community by opening the office to become the first Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Financial Aid Center which distributed over $2 million in aid to more than 2,000 people. Because of the devastation left from the storm, many people needed help. Above all, DonahueFavret Contractors was more than eager to help out our community.
DFC then established Suited for Success, which collected and distributed business clothes to those who had lost their wardrobe in the storm.
ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
In February of 2006, DonahueFavret partnered with ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to rebuild and restore First Emanuel Baptist Church in New Orleans, a church that helps feed the homeless in the community, provides daycare and afterschool activities, as well as it provides low-rent housing to those greatly in need.
Without abandoning their other projects in progress, DonahueFavret Contractors’ employees and 2000 volunteers, in 96 straight hours, brought hope and life back to this community.
