Arise Virtual Solutions Teams With Atlanta Habitat For Humanity to Help Build A Home

Jan. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Industry Leading U.S. Virtual Services Company Furthers its Mission of Helping People Work From Home While Supporting Atlanta Habitat for Humanity’s Goal of Providing Affordable Housing

Miramar, Florida, U.S. – Arise Virtual Solutions Inc. (www.arise.com), the pioneer of outsourced home-based customer care, or homeshoring, announced today it will co-sponsor an Atlanta Habitat for Humanity “build day” on Saturday, January 31 in Jonesboro, Georgia.  The home is located at the new Avery subdivision that is a collaborative development between Atlanta Habitat for Humanity and Jonesboro-based Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity. Twenty local Arise Certified Professionals, or home-based agents in the Atlanta area, as well as Arise CEO Angie Selden, will volunteer their time to construct the home as it nears completion.

“The word ‘home’ has a significant meaning to both Arise, which helps people realize the freedom of working from home, and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, which helps working families realize their dream of homeownership,” stated Selden.  “Arise is honored to partner with a non-profit organization that understands the value of a family’s home as a place to prosper both emotionally and professionally,” she continued.

While providing work-at-home opportunities for thousands of Americans is a clear benefit of homeshoring, Arise contributes to the larger economy by providing value-added, multi-channel customer support to clients in retail, high-tech, utilities, healthcare, membership services, and insurance sectors.  This includes basic and complex levels of consumer sales and support, order management and customer service, technical support, roadside assistance, insurance sales and claims processing, and travel reservations, among other services that are all handled by the at-home workforce.
