Entegrus has announced a pair of holiday donations, totaling $215,000.
$200,000 to Indwell Housing Project
Entegrus, along with its Shareholders, have announced a generous charitable donation to support Indwell Community Homes in Chatham-Kent.
Indwell, an organization that provides supportive and affordable housing is the recipient of a $200,000 donation that will support 35 residents in Chatham.
“Wow! We are deeply humbled by Entegrus’ generosity and their belief that building affordable supported homes for people in Chatham-Kent who need them, will make a big, long-term impact in the community,” said Scott Brush, Launch Manager at Indwell, in a media release.
“I’m also very excited about how this gift, along with the one they gave last year, is helping lay the financial foundation that Indwell needs to move forward at the former St. Agnes school, creating an affordable housing community for those who are seeking health, wellness and belonging.”
The new complex will include a nurse’s station to administer medication and an industrial kitchen so residents can be guaranteed at least one nutritious meal per day, Entegrus officials say.
It will also offer the residents a program providing mental health and addiction, as well as psychosocial assistance.
“Housing shortages are something we see more and more each day in our community, and we are very pleased to help support this cause,” stated Jim Hogan, President and CEO of Entegrus, in a press release.
“We believe this project is a wonderful opportunity for Chatham residents and that is why we chose to donate for a second year in a row.”
$15,000 to Habitat for Humanity
Entegrus, along with its Shareholders, have announced a charitable donation in the amount of $15,000 to Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent.
This donation will contribute to the building of homes within Chatham-Kent for families in need.
“Our team is thrilled to support local charities that give back to our community,” Hogan said, in a media release.
“We are grateful Habitat for Humanity helps individuals in our community achieve their dream of becoming a homeowner.”
“We can’t thank Entegrus enough for this generous donation and for continuing to be such a valued partner of Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent,” stated Megan VanderEnde, Board Chair of Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent, in a media release.
“For a number of years Entegrus has been a supporter of our builds – not only contributing financially, but also sending teams that have volunteered time to assist with drywall and painting among other projects.”
VanderEnde added: “Additionally, Entegrus continues to be a key sponsor of Habitat for Humanity fundraising events such as our trivia nights, golf tournaments, and our raffles. With the help of corporate sponsors like Entegrus, we can continue to further our mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. Thank you again to Entegrus for this donation and for continuing to be a supporter of the good work that is happening in our community.”
Entegrus and its employees have donated over $400,000 throughout 2022 to various organizations within their service area with the majority of the funds to support those in need.
