FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES THANKSGIVING DRIVE

JACKSONVILLE, FL (December 8, 2015): David Weekley Homes hosted a company-wide Thanksgiving Drive and collected more than 100,000 pounds of turkey and nonperishable items.

In Jacksonville, the Thanksgiving Drive benefited Farm Share, Inc., a nonprofit organization with a mission to alleviate hunger and malnutrition by distributing fresh and nutritious food to those in need. 

Approximately 13,290 pounds of food was collected during the two-week drive. Farm Share, Inc. received the items just in time to distribute to families for the holiday.

“We cannot thank David Weekley Homes enough for collecting 7,090 pounds of nonperishable items and 6,200 pounds of frozen turkey to help feed so many families,” said Brian Phelan, Director of Farm Share NE Florida.

The drive was an initiative of the company’s CARE program, which is a charitable and volunteer program that joins team members with homeowners, homebuyers, community partners and local nonprofit organizations to live out its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives in all the communities in which it builds. This is accomplished by company team members volunteering countless hours to different organizations in their communities and by The David Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $100 million to a variety of organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.
