South Florida PGA Island Chapter Breaks Ground on Habitat for Humanity Home Build
ATLANTIS, FL - The South Florida PGA Island Chapter, through the support of the South Florida PGA Foundation, broke ground on a Habitat for Humanity project this week in Loiza, Puerto Rico. This marks the eight home the SFPGA Foundation has sponsored.
Since the partnership with Habitat for Humanity began, the SFPGA Foundation built eight homes and plans to build a total of 15, one in each county of the South Florida section, which includes Puerto Rico.
Beginning Tuesday, October 22nd, PGA Professionals began restoring a house in Loiza which was destroyed in the wake of Hurricane Irma.
With a completion date expected in early December, the house will be gifted to a Puerto Rican family in need.
Once all 15 homes have been built, the Foundation will have granted $800,000 to Habitat for Humanity and more than 15,000 volunteer hours.
The South Florida PGA Foundation believes it is important that PGA Professionals get involved in the community in a way that expands beyond golf.
