How Many Homes has Nissan Built with Habitat for Humanity?
Many automotive companies such as Nissan have had big impacts on people’s lives outside of just providing exciting vehicles. In fact, Nissan oftentimes teams up with various companies and organizations such as Habitat for Humanity to help people in need. So, thanks to the partnership, how many homes has Nissan built with Habitat for Humanity?
Nissan Volunteers Building Homes
Recently, employees from the Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant worked together with Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area once again to build their 12th home, bringing the grand total to 92 homes built across the country. This latest house building project took two months, along with approximately 100 Nissan Canton employees working about 1,000 hours total to finish building the home.

“Helping to build a new home for a family right here in our backyard is a proud moment for the Nissan Canton team. It underpins our commitment to helping build stronger communities and a stronger Mississippi for everyone.”
–Erik Fields, vice president, Manufacturing, Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant
The new home was built for Christina Wilder and her two sons, Carmello and Chrishone. Wilder actually took Chrishone in after the unfortunate passing of one of her brothers a few years ago.
The partnership between Nissan North America and Habitat for Humanity has been around since 2005. Since then, Nissan has donated more than $16.9 million and 150 vehicles to the cause, as Nissan employees have also logged more than 100,000 volunteer hours in total.
