Shealy Electrical Wholesalers and Schneider Electric along with several others in the industry, have teamed up to help Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity build a home for a deserving family.
Habitat Executive Director, Roy Kramer, said this partnership will not only make an immediate impact for a hard working family, but it will also come in handy in the future.
“Both companies have connected us to a number of different businesses that we hope will continue to support our efforts long after this build,” said Kramer. “More than 30 percent of this build was funded by In-Kind contributions, which demonstrates just how much support both companies received from area businesses.”
Ideal, Leviton, Broan/Nutone, Southwire, Allied and Progress Lighting also contributed material to this project.
Schneider Electric builds a home every year in Columbia, however this is Shealy Electrical Wholesalers’ first time working with Habitat for Humanity.
“Giving back to our communities is both a responsibility and privilege,” said David White, president of Shealy Electrical Wholesalers. “For more than 65 years, Shealy Electrical and Schneider Electric have developed deep-rooted relationships throughout North and South Carolina and we are excited to come together to build a Habitat home and affect positive change.”
Construction on the Shealy Electrical Wholesalers and Schneider Electric Habitat began on Saturday, Sept. 29 in the Shealy parking lot in West Columbia, S.C.
Shealy posted photos from the project on the company website.
