Inform the Community

Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates houses and neighborhoods by providing simple, decent, affordable homes with the help of prospective and existing homeowners, volunteers, donors, community organizations and all those who want to lend a hand. Nearly every year, BartonPartners sends volunteers to help one of the local Habitat for Humanity groups.

This past spring BartonPartners volunteered to help out with the popular reality TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which happened to be filmed in Philadelphia for an episode. In just one week, several designers and contractors, and plenty of volunteers, rebuilt an entire house—every single room, plus the exterior and landscaping for a well-deserving family.

Positive Influence

The Salvation Army Angel Tags Program was created so that all children may experience the magic of the winter holidays. Here at BartonPartners each year, we have a tree full of Angel tags. The tags have the first name of a needy child on them and some additional information such as their age, sex, clothing sizes, and wants and needs, so that we can provide for them the perfect gifts, and hopefully make their holiday happier.
