National builder teams up with Whirlpool®
Corporation to furnish 17 Ronald McDonald™ Houses with new
appliances
KB Home (NYSE:KBH) today announced it recently teamed up with
long-time business partner Whirlpool Corporation to provide Ronald
McDonald Houses in 17 KB Home markets with new washers and dryers
as one of the national builder’s “60 Acts of Kindness,” which KB
Home is performing in celebration of its 60th Anniversary. These
service projects provide support to the communities in which the KB
Home team lives, works, and builds new homes as part of its ongoing
KB Cares initiative.
“KB Home is proud to have helped families realize their dream of
owning a new home for 60 years,” said Jeffrey Mezger, KB Home’s
chairman, president and CEO. “We launched our ‘60 Acts of Kindness’
to find new ways to further support our communities.”
KB Home and Whirlpool joined together last month to provide a
new Whirlpool brand washer and dryer at no cost to 17 different
Ronald McDonald Houses located in a KB Home market. These
appliances will be used by the families of critically ill children
who are receiving medical treatment away from home.
“We’ve been working with Whirlpool Corporation for more than 20
years, so it was a natural fit for a ‘60 Acts of Kindness’
project,” said Mezger. “Today, we use Whirlpool brand, KitchenAid®
and Jenn-Air® appliances in every KB Home we build. We are
confident that these new appliances will help the 17 Ronald
McDonald Houses to support the needs of the families they
serve.”
“Whirlpool Corporation is proud to celebrate this milestone with
KB Home, while also helping deliver high-performance appliances to
families in their time of need,” said Bob Bergeth, general manager,
contract builder sales at Whirlpool Corporation. “We deeply value
our decades-long relationship with the one of the largest
homebuilders, and we are honored to contribute to such a worthy
cause as Ronald McDonald House Charities.”
