“Volvo CE wants to support groups that build and modify homes for families who need assistance so they can have a safe home and a better tomorrow. The volunteers at these organizations give their time and talents because they are committed to helping others have one of the most basic human needs: a safe, comfortable place to live." -Vice President, Marketing & Communications Dave Foster, Volvo CE
For five consecutive years, Building Homes for Heroes has met its goal of gifting an average of one home every 11 days to injured veterans and their families across the United States. Beyond home-building, the nonprofit helps injured veterans find employment, start new businesses, win gold medals in the Warrior and Invictus Games, pursue higher education, conquer the world’s toughest terrains on the highest mountains, and more.
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity works in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. With the help of volunteers, Habitat homeowners contribute sweat equity to build their own homes, and they pay an affordable mortgage.
