Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity is excited to announce it received a 2023 Frontier from Nissan. The donation is part of Nissan’s $800K national partnership renewal with Habitat for Humanity to support local Habitat affiliates across the U.S.
Nissan is donating five vehicles to local Habitat affiliates this year to use for use on Habitat for Humanity construction sites. Additionally, Nissan employees will volunteer in 12 communities near Nissan’s manufacturing and operational locations.
“Nissan is deeply committed to the areas where our customers, employees, and dealers live and work, and our partnership with Habitat for Humanity is one way that we invest in these communities,” said Travis Parman, vice president, Corporate Communications, Nissan North America, Inc. “Our employees, working alongside our partners at Habitat and the future homeowners, are able to directly improve their local communities and help families build a safe and decent place to call home.”
Nissan has contributed more than $20 million to Habitat nationally since the partnership began in 2005 when Nissan donated 50 trucks and mobilized employees to assist in home building following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf Coast region. Nissan has continued its support through the years by donating an additional 160 vehicles to support construction activities and disaster recovery efforts. Furthermore, Nissan’s employees have contributed more than 112,400 volunteer hours working alongside future homeowners in communities across the U.S.
“It was just 2 years ago we were driving around an old donated 1997 truck to and from the job site, before the trusty Habitruck finally died. We are thrilled at this investment in our operations from Nissan so that we can reliably transport tools, materials and trash on our construction sites without worry,” said Megan McDonough, Executive Director of Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity. “Building homes takes more than just nails and 2 x 4s, it takes time, energy and love from our community. Thanks Nissan!”
