David Weekley Homes hosted a back-to-school supply drive benefiting INK! Investing in Kids, a support organization for the St. Johns County School District.
More than 300 orders were filled – totaling about 30,000 items — and delivered to schools, said Donna Lueder, executive director of the group.
About $1,000 in supplies were collected during the two-week drive, which benefited 200 children. After collecting the donations, team members spent 10 hours sorting the supplies and delivering them to the organization.
“I am amazed at the outpouring of support from our local team, our homeowners and our business partners and vendors,” said Katie Robinson-Hensley, marketing coordinator with David Weekley Homes.
The drive was an initiative of the real estate company’s CARE program, which partners team members with nonprofits to make a positive impact in the community.
This is accomplished by company team members volunteering countless hours to organizations and by the Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $100 million to groups through the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.
