FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES THANKSGIVING DRIVE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (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 Salt Lake City, the Thanksgiving Drive benefited the Utah Food Bank, an organization that distributes millions of pounds of food each year to people facing hunger across the state.

Approximately 1,350 pounds – 862 pounds of non-perishable food items and 31 turkeys amounting to 490 pounds – were collected during the two-week drive. Salt Lake City team members delivered the food items to the organization to distribute to families in time for the holiday.

“The Utah Food Bank is incredibly grateful for the support of David Weekley Homes, and it is always inspiring,” said Ginette Bott, Utah Food Bank Chief Development Officer. “We consider each and every person and organization who donates food, time or money to this important effort to be a true partner in fighting hunger statewide.”

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.
