David Weekley Homes Team Members Volunteer with Lowcountry Food Bank

Charleston, SC (September 24, 2019): Approximately 12 team members and one homeowner from David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held builder, volunteered their time to help fight weekend hunger and fill more than 700 backpacks with Lowcountry Food Bank’s BackPack Buddies program.

BackPack Buddies partners with Charleston-area schools to provide children who experience hunger with a backpack containing nonperishable food items for the weekend each Friday during the school year. David Weekley Homes volunteers packed bags to provide more than 700 students with nutritious food while they’re not in school.

“Working with this program is so rewarding,” said Sarah Kemp, senior marketing director and division coordinator for David Weekley Homes in Charleston. “You can really see the impact in a short amount of time.”

This volunteer project is an initiative of the company’s CARE program, which joins team members with homeowners, homebuyers, community partners and local nonprofit organizations to live out its purpose of Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives in each of the communities in which it builds.
