From Stacey Otto, JHBP Product Manager:
“We’re privileged to have the opportunity
to participate in this exciting project. Dwain and
Penny have been blessed with their four children and
it’s heartfelt to know that we’re able
to help. Our industry is coming together through Tile
Partners for Humanity not only to help build a house,
but also to give the Dyer family a special place to
call home.”
"Our homeowners are excited about having tile
in their homes. Not only is it a beautiful floor covering,
it is durable over the years and makes their home investment
more valuable." --Ray Maynard, Construction
Director, Atlanta Habitat
"Tile Partners for Humanity has made a truly
generous donation to our organization. Our homeowners
can enjoy tile in their kitchens, utility rooms and
bathrooms, and what's more, they helped install it,
so they learned a new skill in the process." --Larrie
Del Martin, President & Executive Director, Atlanta
