Day of Service 2024: Building Homes, Creating Memories

Mr. Handyman of Wheaton-Hinsdale, a trusted name in the handyman industry, is not just about fixing things around the house; they also have a strong commitment to giving back to the community.

In January of 2024, we organized a very fulfilling Day of Service in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of DuPage County, a renowned non-profit, dedicated to providing decent and affordable housing to those in need.

For us, community service is more than just a one-time commitment. Over the years, our team has consistently dedicated one day of handyman services to various nonprofit organizations throughout DuPage County and beyond. This ongoing commitment to community service reflects our values and the desire to create a lasting impact on the lives of local residents.

The Mr. Handyman Wheaton-Hinsdale Day of Service in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of DuPage County in 2024 showcased the power of coming together for a common cause. By installing kitchen cabinets, flooring, and completing various handyman projects, we not only improved homes but also created a brighter future for local families. This event is just one example of our unwavering commitment to the community, leaving a lasting legacy of service and compassion.
