At Willis of Northern New England, Inc., formally HRH Northern New England, one of our core values is to give back to the community. One way that we accomplish this is through sponsorship of a number of non-profit organizations including Habitat for Humanity. In 2005, HRH donated funds for a complete house built by Habitat. In 2006, HRH began assisting Habitat in its fundraising efforts by donating parking spaces at its Congress Street, Portland branch location. Habitat "rents" HRH's parking spaces out to Sea Dogs fans during home games in exchange for a donation to Habitat. To date, Habitat has grossed over $16,000 with this fundraiser.

Willis of Northern New England, Inc. Supports Habitat for Humanity
We support Habitat for Humanity annually by donating the use of parking spaces at our 959 Congress Street, Portland, Maine office. Each year since 2006, we have worked with our landlord to permit Habitat use of the lot during baseball games held at Hadlock Field. Habitat allows fans to use the parking spaces in exchange for a donation to Habitat. Habitat for Humanity's mission is to provide simple, decent and affordable housing to working families. We are pleased to help in this effort.
