Great Social Causes

Wayne Baruch (and The Artisans Group) has always supported numerous social causes such as Habitat for Humanity; rebuilding in the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricanes Rita, Katrina, and Gustav, and speaking to the public on Green Building, to name just a few.  The Bucks County, PA Chamber of Commerce, which was instrumental in arranging the trip, graciously honored us and four other builders for our work in the Gulf Coast with its 2009 Humanitarian Award.
