Dunn Carney's Day of Caring
Dunn Carney celebrated its Day of Caring on October 7th this year by volunteering for Mt. Hood Habitat for Humanity. A crew of 16 attorneys and staff went on site to a Habitat project of 16 townhomes where they hung doors, filled cracks with caulk and foam, and completed other construction tasks to bring the townhomes closer to completion. In spite of the inexperience of our crew, we made a real contribution to move the project along. Thanks to Dunn Carney attorneys Todd Cleek (a Board member of Mt. Hood Habitat for Humanity) and Heather Guthrie for setting up this great event.
