AK Media Provides Billboards for Habitat

The Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity affiliates (including Seattle Habitat for Humanity) were selected by AK Media/ NW Community Partnership, the company's largest corporate giving program, as one of ten nonprofit organizations to receive $2.9 million in design time and advertising space. Three billboards featuring Habitat for Humanity, will be rotated throughout King and Pierce counties-and it's all free to Habitat. We were selected by the employees of AK Media for this partnership, worth over $500,000 during the next two years. One of Seattle Habitat's new homeowners, Karla Garrett, is featured on the billboard in
a photo taken by staff member Melissa Martin during the Building on Faith Blitz. The first three locations for the billboards are: Renton on SE 176th Street, Seattle (near South Park) on Hwy. 509, and in Tacoma on South 74th Street.
