Today, @statefarm employees volunteered with Habitat for Humanity DeKalb to help a senior with home accessibility and safety upgrades.

The team started by building a ramp which included digging and moving dirt, marking where the support posts would go, digging the post holes, cutting, assembling and fitting the wood framing, and installing the frame of the ramp. They also installed grab bars in the bathroom, which helps seniors maintain balance and have support when getting in and out of the shower and using the toilet. This reduces the risk of slips and making daily routines easier. To round out the safety upgrades, they installed smoke detectors for early warning and added peace of mind for the household. Lunch was provided by Bell Street Burritos, helping fuel everyone’s energy!
