DALLAS, May 2, 2014 AT&T Digital Life ® and Habitat for Humanity NYC will work together to rebuild and revitalize a community in Staten Island, N.Y. on Friday, May 2. AT&T employee volunteers will join Habitat for Humanity New York City to help repair a Staten Island home that was badly damaged by Superstorm Sandy. This is the second project for the collaboration, with future build events planned in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle thanks to a $150,000 donation from Digital Life to Habitat for Humanity. 

“AT&T Digital Life collaborating with Habitat for Humanity is an opportunity for us to help those who need the security and peace of mind that a home can provide,” said Kevin Petersen, senior vice president of Digital Life, Inc. “We are committed to giving back through home builds and repair projects across the country and especially in communities like New York City.”

Digital Life will work with Habitat for Humanity New York City to strengthen their goals and mission to help bring people together to build homes, communities and hope. Through this collaboration, Digital Life will donate $10,000 toward the construction of a new home in each of the five locations and will recruit more than 100 AT&T volunteers to participate in the builds. 

“AT&T has always been about connecting people. Today, they are connecting their great people with those in need on Staten Island and that is something to admire and be grateful for,” said Neil Hetherington, CEO of Habitat for Humanity New York City.

On Friday, May 2, AT&T volunteers will help perform critical home repairs on a Staten Island home that was damaged in the storm from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
