Companywide Initiatives
While our CARE program focuses on many local charitable events, we also work with a variety of national organizations as part of our companywide initiatives. These nonprofit organizations include Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, the National MS Society, Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Ideally, we support and partner with organizations committed to education and youth development, as well as those focusing on family values and strengthening. For the last eight years, we have hosted these three annual companywide signature events through our CARE program.
Our CARE Build Month initiative allows us to share our unique skillset as homebuilders to complete building projects with a variety of nonprofit organizations. From ramp projects and kitchen renovations to building homes or building beds for underserved children, Team Members work alongside our trade and vendor partners to lend a hand by completing projects that impact the lives of those less fortunate.
This year, 17 of the company's 19 local divisions as well as the corporate office, all completed projects to build nearly 1,000 beds. This included partnerships with 16 local chapters of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Local divisions in Atlanta and Salt Lake City participated in build projects with early childhood education centers. Projects included building a playhouse, painting, constructing storage shelves and making minor repairs.

We believe that it’s important for all students to have the tools needed for success in school. Through our School Supplies Drive, we work together with our extended David Weekley Homes family in the cities where we live and build to ease the financial burden of this expense for thousands of families and provide deserving children with the supplies needed for the new school year.

“David Weekley Homes has been so incredibly kind and generous to Transitional Youth. When they found out we had a need for a lawn mower, they stepped up and provided more than enough for us to purchase, not only one mower for one of our girl’s houses, but TWO mowers to cover two homes. In addition, they have provided food for all four of our homes. These gifts will be part of Thanksgiving meals for all of our residents and staff this Thanksgiving and Christmas season. We are so grateful to each person who contributed to this wonderful gift.”
Rhona Mahl Executive Director at Transitional Youth
Together we are creating a culture of caring and contribution!
