CANTON, Miss. (April 27, 2016) – Nissan volunteers will add hard hats and tool belts to their work attire as they continue a partnership with Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area (HFHMCA) that began nearly a decade ago. Nissan is focusing its efforts on Greenview Drive – the deteriorated south Jackson street that is being revitalized thanks to HFHMCA and its supporters.

“Nissan is a leader not only in the automotive industry but also in community citizenship,” said Cindy Griffin, executive director of HFHMCA. “Nissan – Canton’s sponsorship this year of a house on Greenview Drive is the latest in a long and generous history of their partnership with us. Nissan employees demonstrate the highest ideals of volunteerism, putting their hearts into action as they work alongside partner families, helping them build their new homes. We are proud to be their partner.”

The relationship between Nissan and Habitat for Humanity continues to be a strong one. This year Nissan employees don their hard hats and pick up hammers to assist in the building of a future home on Greenview Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. The project started last month and will continue well into May until the house is completed.

Not only does Nissan provide manpower, it also contributes financially. Since 2006, Nissan has donated $1 million and 50 Nissan trucks. These efforts have produced more than 60 homes in the Gulf Coast region and all over the US.
