STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

HOUSTON, TX (September 16, 2015): David Weekley Homes hosted a Back to School Supply Drive benefiting the YMCA of Greater Houston, an organization that Houston is focused on putting Judeo-Christian principles into practice by developing programs to build a healthy spirit, mind and body, and nurturing the potential of every child and teen.

Thousands of items, valued at $14,000, were collected during the two-week drive, which benefited 1,440 children. After collecting the donations, team members sorted the supplies and delivered them to the organization to ensure the supplies would be distributed in time for the students to begin school with the tools needed to be successful.

“The school supply drive was such an easy way for our team members and community to support students, teachers and our local schools,” said Cindy Miller, marketing director for David Weekley Homes. “I opened one of the boxes and the donor’s child had written a personal note wishing the students a great school year, hoping they enjoyed the items he had picked out just for them.”

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