One of the things we enjoy most about being Indianapolis, IN Nissan dealers is that we represent a brand that shares our commitment to giving back. Earlier this week, the Nissan brand announced that it has joined Habitat for Humanity’s inaugural nationwide #HomeIsTheKey campaign. By joining the #HomeIsTheKey campaign, the Nissan brand has agreed to donate $1.00 to Habitat for Humanity every time the #HomeIsTheKey hashtag is used on social media, up to a maximum of $250,000.
“Nissan and Habitat have partnered together for over a decade, helping families all over the world build strength and stability by building their own homes. We are proud to be a part of the 'Home is the Key' campaign," said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communications and Media, Nissan North America. "Studies have shown that a stable home plays a key role in positively influencing a family's education, health, and financial opportunities. For this reason, Nissan invites our customers to help unlock a family's future by joining us during the April campaign."
"Decent shelter is something we all need to thrive, and yet many in the U.S. still live in inadequate housing conditions, creating barriers to opportunity, success, stability, and health," said Colleen Finn Ridenhour, Senior Vice President of Development at Habitat for Humanity International. "We are grateful to Nissan for partnering with us in our efforts to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter."
The Nissan brand’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity began in 2005 when the automaker donated 50 trucks and countless volunteer hours to help people along the Gulf Coast after hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the area. Since then, the Nissan brand has given the charity $14 million and Nissan employees have donated more than 85,000 volunteer hours.
The Nissan brand’s long-standing commitment to Habitat for Humanity is just another reason to feel great when you buy or lease a vehicle like the 2017 Nissan Rogue from our Nissan dealership. We invite you to participate in the #HomeIsTheKey campaign by sharing the hashtag on your social media pages today. We also encourage you to visit Tom Wood Nissan to buy or lease your next Nissan vehicle! Stop by and see us soon!
