Six employees out of the Sarnia Reliance Home Comfort office will partnering with Habitat For Humanity September 28 at the Devine St. build.

Reliance Regional General Manager Amanda Anderson says it's their second annual Build Day.

"We regularly donate air conditioners and furnaces, partnering with the manufacturers we work with," says Anderson. "More importantly, I think, we also donate our time. A lot of team members will get involved in the actual build. This year six employees from the Sarnia office will help with painting jobs."

One of the homes will be occupied by a family who emigrated to Canada from the Democratic Republic of the Congo three years ago.

The other will become the home of two young men with developmental challenges.
