Students Benefit from David Weekley Homes School Supplies Drive

Orlando, FL (August 22, 2018): David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held builder, hosted its fourth annual, companywide CA+RE School Supplies Drive in 17 cities across the country. In Orlando, school supplies were collected for A Gift For Teaching, an organization that provides free resources and surplus materials to teachers for their students in need.

“Over the past five years, David Weekley Homes has assisted A Gift For Teaching in delivering school supplies into the hands of Central Florida students who need them most,” said Jane Thompson, president of A Gift For Teaching. “Thanks to the David Weekley Homes team members who volunteer throughout the year, and host a school supplies drive. We could not ask for a better partner.”

Approximately $7,700 in supplies were collected from homeowners, homebuyers, trade partners, real estate agents and David Weekley team members during the drive. This donation provided around 8,000 students with the supplies needed for the school year.

“This was by far the most fun I have had on a team CARE drive,” said Keith Dukes, lead builder for David Weekley Homes in Orlando. “I hope we can make someone’s life easier with our donation. Anything for the kids!”

The School Supplies Drive is a volunteer and philanthropic 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.
