Last month, volunteers from the Greater Houston Business Association (GHBA) gathered for the organization’s annual Charity Day Work Day. Through a partnership with HomeAid Houston, the GHBA Remodelers’ Council worked on renovations to the Santa Maria Hostel and Lydia’s Place so both facilities can better serve their residents.
“I look forward to the GHBA Remodelers’ Council Charity Work Day each year. It’s such a wonderful way to help Houston-area charity organizations better serve our neighbors in need. Upgrades made to the Santa Maria Hostel and Lydia’s place will make a real difference in the lives of our fellow Houstonians,” said Cabinets & Designs President Maria Frank.
