Nissan and Habitat for Humanity have been in a partnership for over six years now.  It started back in 2005.  As many of you will remember 2005 is when Hurricane Katrina and Rita devastated the southeast.  Nissan has not only contributed considerable monetary donations but its employees have logged over 56,000 hours helping the non-profit build homes for people in need.

However, Nissan Americas is not stopping there. The automaker has just announced plans to grow their partnership with Habitat for Humanity. In addition to a hefty 2.5-million-dollar charitable contribution, Nissan Americas has taken the extra step of inviting company stakeholders to also support the worthy cause.

"Nissan's financial support enables us to help more families improve their living conditions in ways they can afford," saidJonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity International, in response to Nissan America's announcement. "We are extremely grateful to have a partner like Nissan that shares our commitment to building sustainable communities. This is an exciting opportunity for our affiliates and for our recovery work in Haiti."¹

Speaking of Habitat for Humanity's efforts in Haiti, the non-profit is expected to use much of Nissan's recent donation to help fund next month's  perennial Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Work Project, which takes place in...you guessed it... Haiti. The remaining funds will be used to cover building-supply costs and other expenses for projects around the world.

Interested in helping Nissan Americas support Habitat for Humanity International? Red River Nissan, located at 2020 Highway 75 Denison, TX, encourages you to donate any available time (of if you prefer funds) online, via the Nissan Americas website. Countless individuals will be ever so grateful.
