Through the partnership that Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville, Inc. (HabiJax) has developed with Owens Corning, the organization has been able to continue its efforts of revitalizing New Town.

Owens Corning recently presented HabiJax with a $15,000 donation to renovate a home for a Jacksonville family in the New Town neighborhood. Volunteers from the local Owens Corning plant also have contributed numerous community service hours including a work day at the home.

“We appreciate the continued support that the employees of Owens Corning have demonstrated to us over the years,” said HabiJax President and CEO Mary Kay O’Rourke. “Our work in New Town has been extremely rewarding and we are thrilled that many local businesses and residents join us in supporting the revitalization efforts underway in New Town.”

Partnerships like the one with Owens Corning have made it possible for HabiJax to provide homeownership to more than 2,000 families since 1988. The nonprofit organization also offers other homeowner services including Critical Home Repair, A Brush with Kindness, Weatherization, Rehabilitation and Housing Counseling.
