People’s Trust Insurance Donates $25,000 to Habitat Broward to Help Support Upcoming Home Build in Deerfield Beach
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. – Five deserving Deerfield Beach families will finally have a place to call home, after Habitat for Humanity Broward and community partner, People’s Trust Insurance, partnered with the City of Deerfield Beach to make this dream a reality. Upon the City making these five properties available, People’s Trust donated $25,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Broward to help support the building of these new homes.
“Literally helping to put roofs over the heads of five families in our community is some of the most meaningful work we can possibly do,” said Adam Hasner, People’s Trust Insurance Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. “With the help of our affiliate, the Rapid Response Team, People’s Trust is committed to ensuring that all families know the safety and joy of living in their own home. I am proud we’re a part of Habitat Broward’s truly life-changing home building project.”
Deerfield Beach-based People’s Trust is a first-time sponsor of Habitat for Humanity of Broward. People’s Trust employees will also be hosting volunteer days to help in building the homes. And, the roofing professionals from the Rapid Response Team, an affiliate of People’s Trust, will also be donating their time and roofing materials.
“The partnership with People’s Trust Insurance is a perfect fit for us,” said Perry Ecton, Habitat Broward’s Executive Director. “Their focus on high quality and affordable service for their policyholders aligns perfectly with our core philosophy. By supporting this project, People’s Trust Insurance is, once again, showing its commitment to improving the Deerfield Beach community – I hope it inspires other businesses to do the same.”
Added George Schaeffer, People’s Trust Insurance President and CEO, “This s about making the American Dream a reality for our neighbors. Families and communities thrive when all people have access to safe and affordable housing, and we believe it’s our responsibility to not only protect homes in times of disaster, but to ensure peace of mind for our community at all times.”
The home building project for the five houses will start later this year. For more information about Habitat for Humanity of Broward, visit www.habitatbroward.org. For more information about People’s Trust Insurance, visit www.peoplestrustinsurance.com.
