JES Foundation Repair Partners with Habitat for Humanity
Event Recap: Building For a Cause
JES Foundation Repair (JES) partnered with Habitat for Humanity as a part of the companywide Build Together 2024 initiative. During this effort, JES teams assisted in home builds for members of the local community.
Baltimore
JES employees in Baltimore volunteered their time on June 5 with the Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake. Eight JES team members spent the day at an existing home tackling a list of outdoor tasks, including shoveling mulch, laying down grass, planting shrubs, and more. Their efforts were featured in The Avenue News.
HFH of the Chesapeake was grateful for the team’s help ahead of their 800th home dedication.
Roanoke
Our Roanoke team members partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Roanoke Valley to support 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 purchasing the home is very excited about 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
Manassas
In October, the Manassas team deployed volunteers to a ramp build hosted by Loudoun Habitat for Humanity. Employees spent the day in Lovettsville building an accessible ramp for an existing Habitat for Humanity homeowner. Eight dedicated volunteers were grateful for the opportunity to make a difference for someone in their local community.

Five team members from the Richmond branch partnered with Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity on October 18. JES volunteers built framing for a concrete driveway that would be poured in the coming weeks.
