Beaches Habitat for Humanity recently welcomed local executives and business leaders to the build site for its annual CEO Build, a hands-on day of service where leaders stepped away from their offices and onto the construction site to help build safe, affordable housing for a local family.<\/p>\n
CEO Build is a powerful opportunity for leaders from across the Jacksonville Beaches business community to trade their desks for hard hats. Together, these executives worked side by side raising walls, swinging hammers and strengthening connections, all while demonstrating their shared commitment to affordable housing and a thriving local economy.<\/p>\n
In our community, one in five families must choose between paying for a safe home or covering essential needs like groceries, health care or transportation. CEO Build gives business leaders the opportunity to take meaningful action, helping create stability and opportunity for a local family while setting an example of service and collaboration that inspires others across Northeast Florida.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis day shows what\u2019s possible when our business community comes together for something bigger than themselves,\u201d said Steve Gilbert, CEO of Beaches Habitat for Humanity. \u201cThese leaders are not only investing in housing \u2014 they are investing in stronger families and a stronger community.\u201d<\/p>\n
