Maxwell House Announces $200,000 Donation, Multiyear Partnership With Operation FINALLY HOME to Build Homes for Veterans in Need - Seite 2

Operation FINALLY HOME is a nonprofit that works with builders, corporate sponsors and the local community to provide custom-built, mortgage-free homes and home modifications to deserving veterans, first responders and widows of the fallen, so they have a place to call their own.

“We are honored to partner with Maxwell House, Lennar and the Jacksonville community to provide a mortgage-free home for Sgt Thomas,” said Rusty Carroll, executive director for Operation FINALLY HOME. “Hearing Sgt. Thomas’ story and learning about his service was extremely moving to all of us at Operation FINALLY HOME. He has given so much back to his community and we are grateful to be able to show our gratitude to him and his family with the gift of a new, mortgage-free home.”

The home for Sgt. Thomas and his family is being built by the Northeast Florida division of Lennar, a builder that has worked hard to make homeownership more accessible for military members and veterans.

“Lennar strives to make buying a new construction home an easy experience for service members like Sgt. Thomas and his family,” said Matt Devereaux, division president for Lennar Jacksonville. “We believe every sailor, soldier and veteran deserves that rewarding feeling of owning a home. This is the second mortgage-free home Lennar has donated to a U.S. service member in the Jacksonville area. Supporting our military veterans is an important part of Lennar’s mission and always will be.”

Maxwell House is also inviting people to join in a virtual housewarming celebration for Sgt. Thomas by using #MaxwellHousesforHeroes on Twitter until Nov. 23 to thank him for his service and congratulate him and his family on their new home.

Homes aren’t the only way Maxwell House will say “thank you” to the nation’s veterans this year. Starting today at 12 p.m. EST, Maxwell House is offering veterans and active servicemen and women coupons, while supplies last, for a free canister of the limited-edition Maxwell Houses for Heroes Pack (1 lb. and 3 lbs.). The coupon will be available to download on Coupons.com and can be redeemed online and at select grocery retailers around the country through November 16. No military ID required.

Through the end of the month, Maxwell House is also sponsoring the Hero Block on the History Channel, which is from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST on Saturdays and puts an extra spotlight on honoring our country’s men and women of service. Viewers will be able to watch the video featuring Sgt. Thomas and his family during the Hero Block.
