We are grateful to the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund for awarding us another grant of $4,000, which is in addition to a $5,000 grant that we received from Weyerhaeuser in November 2019. One of the focus areas of the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund is supporting affordable housing and shelter for those in need.
Lana Bru, Finance and Planning Manager for Weyerhaeuser’s Southwest & Southern California Region, said “the Warrior Village Project is an organization that aligns with our focus. We are proud to support the work they do, helping those who are in great need, our local homeless veterans, while also providing home building training to students. Well done to those who work tirelessly at the Warrior Village Project!”
In addition to the two grants we have received from the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund, Weyerhaeuser has put a process in place to donate building products to us. On 22 July, Lana Bru and her colleague Estevan (Steve) Garcia told us about overstock product that they could donate in the interest of establishing ongoing support for our students and our veterans. Steve has already found some beautiful HardiePlank Fiber Cement Lap Siding in his warehouse for us. Thank You Weyerhaeuser!
