MHAworks Architecture is awarded the 2013 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award

DURHAM, N.C. - April 25, 2013 - PRLog -- MHAworks, a commercial architecture firm located in Durham, NC, was recognized this month for their volunteer service in creating and organizing Creative Food Drive {C.F.D.}. On April 15 at the 2013 Key Volunteer Ceremony, hosted by the Volunteer Center of Durham, MHAworks’ staff accepted the Governor’s Volunteer Service Award for Durham County in the Corporate/Business category, presented by the honorable Mike Woodard.  

MHAworks, established in 1988, is a commercial architecture firm located in downtown Durham, NC with a staff of 28 professionals. Their portfolio includes expertise in commercial office, science and technology, worship, healthcare and government facilitates.

Housing for New Hope nominated MHAworks because of their work on the Creative Food Drive, a local food drive competition and community festival that raises non-perishable food items for the needy in the community.

“MHAworks is not a company of event planners or marketers, but has used their skills and abilities to address a community need they observed in Durham. Their immense contributions demonstrate that they believe the effects of the event are greater than the sum of all the time and effort they volunteered, and that they are truly volunteering for the good of their community.”

         - Melissa Hartzell, Developing Director for Housing for New Hope
