On February 6, 2016, Hopping Green & Sams (HGS) attorneys Joe Brown, Vinette Godelia, Lindsay Whelan, Alyssa Willson, Jon Harris Maurer, Michael Alao, and Clark Gates supported Big Bend Habitat for Humanity Build Day. Joe Brown, who currently serves on the Board of Directors for Big Bend Habitat for Humanity, led the team to sculpt seemingly never ending piles of dirt, sand, and mulch into a perfectly graded perimeter around the house. HGS has supported Big Bend Habitat for Humanity for many years and is always looking for ways to give back to the community.
