LANSING, NY — Cargill Deicing Technology  (CDT) donated $15,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties, Inc. (TCHFH) to support the building of the next Habitat home in their area. CDT will also support specific “construction days” when it will encourage its employees to put their enthusiasm and energy to work on the building itself, once construction starts.

“We really appreciate the Cargill team’s volunteer spirit and the funds to help make this build possible,” said Chuck Brodhead, president of the Habitat affiliate. “Together we can help build a better community for everyone.”

TCHFH plans to start a house in Tompkins County this year and another in Cortland next year. Currently, TCHFH is looking for an appropriate lot in Ithaca and is considering the alternative of building in Trumansburg on a parcel it already owns. Moving forward, TCHFH is committed to building energy efficient, affordable homes and is collaborating with area experts on building a LEED-certified “green” home in Cortland.

 “We are pleased to encourage and support our employees as they enhance the communities within which we live and work,” said Steve Horne, Lansing Mine Manager at Cargill Deicing Technology. “Our team-building project with Habitat is a part of Cargill’s effort in nourishing ideas and nourishing people.”
