Delphi Automotive Systems Volunteers to Build Habitat for Humanity Home

    BURTON, Mich., Oct. 5 A Genesee County family will soon
put out a welcome mat at the front door of their new home, thanks to
volunteers from Delphi Automotive Systems , and Habitat for
Humanity.  Dozens of Delphi employees will gather on Saturday, Oct. 7, at
8 a.m. to build a house for the Boulton family.
    Upon its completion, the home at 3417 Marion St. will be the 24th home
that the Genesee County organization has built with the help of volunteers.
The Boulton home will be the first Habitat for Humanity home in the county to
be completely accessible to handicapped individuals.  The house is also the
first to be built in Burton.  The family will be on-hand to help with the
construction, which will last about 12 hours.
    "We are very excited about Delphi's involvement in this project.  We hope
it's the beginning of a very good relationship," said Bob Bellairs, executive
director of the Genesee County Habitat for Humanity.  "It's our goal to
provide a good experience for all of the Delphi volunteers."
    "Building a home is a team effort, and Delphi employees epitomize
teamwork.  We want to be a good neighbor in all of our plant communities
around the globe," said Cheryl Kilborn, Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems'
director of public affairs and communications.  "By volunteering to help
Habitat for Humanity in Genesee County, we're giving back to the community
that's important to us."
    Genesee County Habitat for Humanity was established in 1990 as a non-
profit organization to provide quality, affordable housing to low income
families in Flint and the surrounding area.  Through volunteer labor and tax
deductible donations of money, material and management expertise, Habitat
builds and renovates homes with the help of the future homeowners.
