PHCC Educational Foundation donates to Habitat for Humanity
Materials from the recent PHCC plumbing and HVAC apprentice contests will benefit Albuquerque residents
Every year, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors (PHCC) — National Association Educational Foundation counts on volunteers and donors for many of the materials used to simulate a “real world experience” for its plumbing and HVAC apprentice contests at CONNECT, this year held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Through a generous donation to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Albuquerque following the conference earlier this month, the foundation made sure some of those same materials would continue to benefit others in this year’s host city.
At the conclusion of the CONNECT 2018 contests — where 19 plumbing and 10 HVAC apprentices demonstrated their knowledge and skills and competed for top honors — contest committee volunteers and apprentices helped load up many of the materials for the local Habitat for Humanity. Among the materials were 19 toilets, lavatories and faucets (donated by Kohler Co.); more than 30 PVC pipe sections (donated by CISPI); plus wood, Masonite and plywood.
