JES Foundation Repair Partners with Habitat for Humanity

This year, the team at JES Foundation Repair (JES) partnered with Habitat for Humanity. As part of the companywide Build Together 2024 initiative, employees assisted in home builds for members of the local communities. 

JES’s parent company, Groundworks, donated $100,000 Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the country to support long-term stability through safe and affordable housing. Part of the Goodworks by Groundworks program, this partnership gives 5,000 employees the chance to volunteer in 63 communities throughout the year.

Their efforts were featured in The Avenue News. 

HFH of the Chesapeake was grateful for the team’s help ahead of their 800^th home dedication.

Our Roanoke team members teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Roanoke Valley for a deserving homeowner. Volunteers were responsible for framing the flooring system and digging the foundation for the new home on April 6.  

“It is a blessing to have local businesses work with us to provide safe, affordable homeownership to a neighbor. The young family that will be purchasing the home at 506 Chestnut is very excited for this security. The JES volunteers were a pleasure for our construction staff to work with and we look forward to hosting them again in the future.” -Gina Dunnavant, HFHRV Volunteer Manager
