Create meaning together

Elly Heckel is passionate about community service and has supported Habitat for Humanity of Omaha the past six years. From helping build homes to taking photos at our Home Builders Blitz and attending our volunteer recruiting events, Elly shared why she likes to advocate for Habitat Omaha.

“I believe there is so much opportunity to impact our community and help others make their dream a reality,” she said. “Habitat Omaha provides that opportunity for families to invest in a home, build their home and also educates them on being a homeowner.”

The past two years, Elly and coworkers from RDG Planning and Design have volunteered during our Home Builders Blitz, painting homes last year and helping build a home while learning how to use power tools this year.

Elly said giving back is important to RDG staff who strive to “create meaning together” through every project in which they participate. She is excited to continue volunteering alongside her coworkers and looks forward to attending the Builders Blitz home dedication later this year.
