Another great day of volunteering with Hearts & Hammers

For 18 years, Dunham has been grateful for the opportunity to team up with some of our great partners to give back to our community. Dunham, Med Craft Healthcare, BWBR, MMC, and the NDSU Alumni group joined forces to help a local family with some home and landscaping upgrades. We worked hard, had fun, and did good. We even had great weather! We are happy to say we have another year in the books, and we look forward to getting back together next year with Hearts & Hammers!
