Qivana Cares Lends a Hand at Inverness Construction Site
Qivana founders Derek and Shelby Hall, and associate Rick Moore, kneeling, pose with Habitat family partner Kristen Caine and construction manager James Baldwin June 2 outside Caine's home.
Volunteers from Qivana, a natural products company headquartered in Utah, teamed up with Habitat family partner Kristen Caine June 2, to help complete Kristen's Inverness home in time for the dedication ceremony later this month.
Qivana founder Derek Hall and his wife Shelby traveled from St. George, Utah, to spend time working alongside 18 Qivana volunteers from Inverness, Crystal River, Beverly Hills, Gainesville, Ocala and Largo. The men and women painted, caulked and prepped floors for tile installation at the Caine Family Home and at the house of neighbor Jany Alvarez. The Alvarez home will be dedicated June 18, and the Caine home on June 25.
Nationally, the Qivana Company has adopted Habitat for Humanity as focus for its 2012 outreach program, "Qivana Cares." Rick Moore of Beverly Hills organized the service project locally. Local Qivana volunteers helped raise the walls on the Alvarez and Caine homes in February, and wanted "to help finish what they started," Moore said.
