SAFC Partners with Rx-360 and Habitat for Humanity to Make a Community Impact at Informex 2012 in New Orleans, LA

Posted by SAFC    February 29 2012

SAFC made a big impact at Informex 2012 earlier this month as an exhibitor with a full line-up of sponsorships, presentations, showcases and community service. As February comes to an end, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on one of the community based projects SAFC participated during the time in New Orleans, LA. SAFC came together with global quality consortium Rx-360 and various other participants to dedicate a full day to building with the Habitat for Humanity program.

The Informex Show Daily ran a cover feature about the project titled “Rx-360, Habitat for Humanity Partner for Impact” which can be found by clicking here. We have also included a few photos from the day of the build and hope you will enjoy taking a look into this successful day of working with industry colleagues for a great cause!
