Local Home Builders, NFL Players Team Together to Help Children in Crisis

WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 26, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Former NFL football players are working side-by-side with local home builders and contractors this week to renovate a section of St. Ann’s Infant & Maternity Home in Hyattsville, Md. The Home Builders Care Foundation (HBCF) of the Maryland-National Capital Building Industry Association (MNCBIA) is coordinating the community service project, which is converting an older, institutional-like section of the children’s residential wing into a warm, comfortable living space.”Every child and every family should have a safe, comfortable place that feels like home, whether it is temporary like here at St. Ann’s, or a permanent home to call their own,” said Calvin Snowden, president of the Washington, D.C. NFL Players’ Association (NFLPA) former players’ chapter. “It is incredibly rewarding to be able to give back to the Washington, D.C., community through a project like this.”
