MV Transportation Completes Council Bluffs Habitat for Humanity Project

August 03, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
MV Transportation, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of its first build with the Omaha chapter of Habitat for Humanity. MV employees spent a week helping rehabilitate a two bedroom, one bathroom home for a local family in need. The MV team finished work on the home on July 29 and the family will be moving in during the first part of September. In addition to the rehabilitation work, MV Transportation employees helped raise more than $6,200 to donate to the Omaha chapter.

"We are proud of our work with Habitat for Humanity and we are glad to have been given the opportunity to support such an important cause in our community," said Brad Cornelsen, MV CFO and Council Bluffs resident. "We look forward to future opportunities to work with Habitat and other local organizations."
