NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 11, 2026 / Wesco team members proudly participated in the 40th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project, hosted by Atlanta Habitat for Humanity from May 3 through May 8. This year's build took place in Langston Park, Atlanta Habitat's newest planned community in the historic Sylvan Hills neighborhood. Through the years, this event has consistently brought together volunteers, celebrities, corporate partners, community leaders and residents to build and improve homes and raise awareness of the global housing need.
As a Dream Maker sponsor, Wesco sent eight volunteers each day to assist with the build. Along with Habitat homeowners, staff, other Habitat partners and advocates, Wesco team members from across the Atlanta area supported the construction of 24 new homes during the week. Langston Park represents a bold step forward in expanding affordable home ownership, introducing modern, sustainable townhome-style living for the first time in Atlanta Habitat's history. With easy access to MARTA, the Atlanta Beltline and nearby green spaces, families will thrive in a safe, stable and connected community.
"Giving back to the communities where our team members live and work is at the heart of Wesco Cares," said Chris Wolf, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and Wesco Cares Executive Sponsor. "We're proud to support the Carter Work Project again this year and grateful to our employees who volunteered their time and energy to help expand access to safe, affordable housing in the Atlanta community."
Over its 40-year history, the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project has inspired more than 108,000 volunteers across the U.S. and in 14 countries to build, renovate and repair 4,447 Habitat homes.
