In true builder fashion more than 260 employees for McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. recently participated in building furniture for Houston ISD’s Mitchell Elementary, a Houston elementary school left with no furniture or supplies and waist-high water after the Hurricane Harvey. Teams provided each class with two bookshelves, a Kallax cube, rug, teaching chair and 70-100 books (over 2000 total books). Pre-K and Kindergarten received reading buddies (stuffed animals). Employees brought in extra books, stuffed animals and teacher artwork for the classes as well. Volunteer efforts were a part of McCarthy's "Heart Hats" community involvement program, an initiative dedicated to encouraging, supporting and recognizing McCarthy employees' volunteer efforts in a variety of causes to ensure real needs are being met in communities where employees work, live and play.
