Fifth Third Bank and Rebuilding Together will join forces on
Friday, November 6, on home rebuild projects for low-income
veteran homeowners in 17 cities across the country. Fifth Third
Bank employees and community volunteers will help Rebuilding
Together make critical repairs, accessibility modifications and
energy-efficient upgrades at no cost to the veterans.
Employees from local Fifth Third Bank regions will join
Rebuilding Together affiliates on rebuild projects in Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Missouri,
Tennessee, Georgia, Illinois and Florida. This builds on a 2014
Fifth Third effort with Rebuilding Together in which the two
organizations rehabbed homes in 14 Fifth Third Bank markets. The
collaboration between the two organizations began in 2013 with six
home rebuild sites.
“Our alliance with Rebuilding Together enables Fifth Third to
give back and serve those who have served,” said Chad Borton,
executive vice president and Head of the Consumer Bank, Fifth Third
Bancorp. “It’s a privilege for us to help fund these projects and
to roll up our sleeves and help improve their lives. Thank you to
all of the veterans that are welcoming us into their homes and are
giving us this great opportunity to say thank you for their
service.”
“Together with Fifth Third Bank we are transforming the lives of
low-income veteran homeowners by improving the safety and health of
their homes,” said Sandra Henriquez, interim president and CEO,
Rebuilding Together. “Fifth Third’s commitment to veterans is
helping to revitalize the communities in which these homeowners
live.”
