“Nissan has a heroic history with Habitat for Humanity.”
More than a decade ago, Nissan donated 50 trucks and their employees’ time in order to help and support home building efforts in the Gulf Coast region after it was hit by major hurricanes Katrina and Rita, causing severe damage to the area. That was the beginning of a partnership with Habitat for Humanity that has grown over the years, resulting in donations from Nissan totaling around $14 million.
This past August, Nissan North America announced a $1 million grant to help build more homes for families in need. Decent, affordable housing is simply out of reach for many, and it is part of the mission of Nissan North America to enrich the lives of people.
Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International said,
“We thank Nissan for continuing to give back to communities across the country… we are grateful for their long-term support and commitment to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance.”
The largest portion of the $1 million grant will be used to build more homes for those who are in need of decent, affordable housing. A smaller portion will be used to add more vehicles to Habitat’s current fleet in order to support disaster recovery efforts. Nissan employees will again volunteer their time and participate in community revitalization projects and home construction. Projects this year will happen in 12 Habitat communities across the country and in Canada.
“Our employees look forward to working alongside future homeowners, and their experiences affirm our corporate mission to enrich people’s lives” said Nissan Vice President Rebecca Vest. “Nissan values its partnership with Habitat for Humanity because it delivers strong results each year in building sustainable communities in the areas where our employees live and work.”
