This partnership is based on BB&T's "Lighthouse Project" a company-wide community service program. BB&T believes an
investment in their communities is one of the best investments they
will ever make! Whether it's a financial contribution, an investment of
time or both, they feel their support can truly make a difference.
This project gave BB&T an opportunity to provide
corporate financial support to local charities, while associates roll up
their sleeves and go to work. Since the Lighthouse Project began in
2009, their associates have contributed more than 385,000 volunteer
hours and have improved the quality of life for more than 11 million
people
The Emporia team members eagerly accepted this challenge to
paint one of JFBHS's residential cottages Mark Owen and his team arrived
bright and early on May 21st with paint brushes and rollers in hand.
They got right to work and by the end of the day the cottage had a whole
new look. The funds to purchase the paint and supplies was provided by a
grant from BB&T.
Mark and his family have been involved at JFBHS for years. He
knows the good work that is being done daily to help children with
mental health disorders understand and manage their disorders.
JFBHS is most grateful for the help and support that the
Lighthouse Project has provided to improve the quality of life and
upgrade the living quarters for its children.
