The Good Neighbor Program

Part of what makes working in the homebuilding industry so special is the chance to positively impact people’s lives. Aside from building high-quality, comfortable living spaces for families to thrive in, we value any chance to help improve our community.

 

In fact, making a difference in the community is a big part of who we are at Weaver Homes, especially when it comes to families and children. Over the years, the Weaver team has supported many charities and philanthropic causes in our community. 

 

Now, we are giving our homeowners the opportunity to help, too! We’re spotlighting four of the charities we love and support. Every homeowner will be able to select one of these charities, and then at closing, we’ll donate $100 in their names to the charity they’ve chosen. 

 

Learn a little more about our chosen charities: 

 

Hosanna Industries 

Hosanna Industries is a faith-rooted, non-profit mission whose work involves a variety of charitable initiatives. Mission workers at Hosanna Industries build and repair homes for needy households; mobilize relief workers to areas of disaster; teach and lead workshops in art and spirituality; train young people in construction skills; and lead volunteers of all ages. 

 

Inspired Hearts and Hands 

Inspired Hearts and Hands (IH2) started in 2012 as a group of inspired and compassionate friends and family who teamed up to provide what they call the “Necessary Extras”. From food drives and meal baskets to grocery cards and back-to-school basics, together they serve Allegheny and Butler families who are designated as financially and circumstantially disadvantaged.

 

The Lighthouse Foundation 

The Lighthouse Foundation is a Christian outreach organization addressing the needs of the impoverished in northern Allegheny and Butler Counties. The foundation operates the largest food pantry in Butler County and provides transitional and interim housing for young adults, single parents, and families in the area. They promote self-sufficiency through job training, financial literacy, cooking classes, and connections to reliable vehicles.  

 

Mars Area Public Library 

The mission of the Mars Area Public Library is to inform, educate, entertain, and culturally enrich by providing books,​ library materials, facilities, and professional services for everyone in our area. With generous support, the library is able to provide new and relevant materials, technology, computer access, and free events for all ages and interests in a growing community, with ever-changing needs. 

Weaver Homes is always proud of the work that we do for our homeowners, as well as the chance to impact the community at large. For more information on our homes and communities, or to become a part of our Weaver Homes family, please visit our website, or give us a call at 724-248-1729.

Giving Back This Holiday Season

Community is at the very foundation of what Weaver Homes is about. Not only do we create beautiful and livable communities for individuals and families across the North Pittsburgh area, we are firmly rooted here as a local and family-owned company for the last 30 years. Our team members live here, our kids go to school here, we shop and have fun here, and we want the best for where we live, work, and play. 

That’s why we are so committed to helping our neighbors whenever possible. The experience of one affects the experience of many, and we want everyone in our community to have wonderful experiences, no matter their circumstances. In our work throughout the year, we engage with local leaders, sponsorships, schools, and neighbors, partnering with local charities and volunteering to make our townships better for all who live in them. 

Inspired Hearts and Hands

This holiday season, we’re so excited to partner with Inspired Hearts and Hands (IH2), a nonprofit organization that provides the “Necessary Extra” to families in the community that are financially and circumstantially disadvantaged. They do this through a series of events and initiatives held throughout the year.

Weaver Homes is thrilled to be part of IH2’s 2021 Holiday Outreach program. For the food drive, we set up donation centers at three of our area communities to collect nonperishable items that families need to create delicious holiday meals. We also participated in the Angel Tree Initiative, which collects gifts for families in need to place under their Christmas trees. 

We’re so thankful to be part of the North Pittsburgh community, and we will continue to uplift our neighbors every chance we get. To learn more about Inspired Hearts and Hands, please visit their website. To participate in this year’s food drive, please bring nonperishable food items to The Villas at Spring Valley, Heritage Crossings, or Hickory Glen, or you can sponsor a holiday food basket here

There are many people who contributed to the achievement, including teachers, students, administration, the board of education and parents. The award is based on achievement which is directly associated to teaching and learning. The school will be presented with a plaque and flag at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. at a later date.

Weaver Homes Recognized As Pittsburgh’s #1 Local Builder

Weaver Homes is proud to be named as the 6th largest homebuilder in Western Pennsylvania in the 2014-15 Book of Lists, the ranking of private businesses compiled annually by the Pittsburgh Business Times. But what’s even better is that we are the #1 LOCAL builder on the list, since the builders ahead of us are headquartered outside of the Pittsburgh area.

 

As a locally-owned and operated business, we take our responsibility to the community very seriously. We are dedicated to hiring and supporting local tradespeople. And we are proud to be living and working in the same areas as our homeowners. We can honestly say we’re not just your builder… we’re your neighbors, too!

 

The Pittsburgh Business Times Book of Lists are an annual ranking of hundreds of the area’s strongest companies in various fields. This ranking appeared in the September 4 – 10 issue of the Pittsburgh Business Times. It is the 7th year that Weaver Homes has been named to The List.

 

The list of largest Pittsburgh-Area Home Builders is based on the number of house/unit starts and the number of houses/units sold during the previous year submitted by Pittsburgh homebuilders. The Pittsburgh Business Times ranks the builders based on those figures.

Come see for yourself why Weaver Homes is the #1 local home builder in Pittsburgh! For information about Weaver Homes, please call 855-374-2664 or visit www.weaverhomelive.wpengine.com.
