Habitat

Humanity
believes
that
every
family deserves a decent, affordable home.
At
Whirlpool we share that belief.
We donate a
refrigerator and range to every new Habitat
home built in North America.
And every year
thousands of our employees volunteer their own
time to Habitat logether, we can help eliminate
substandard housing, one family at a rime.
