We are collecting donations of canned food, cereals and pastas in the model centers in 22 Central Florida new home communities and at our corporate offices in Lakeland. Nonperishable food items will be accepted through August 30, 2010.
“We have often partnered with USDA in the past to get area homebuyers into new Highland homes with no money down,” said Kathie McDaniel, Highland Homes’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This is an opportunity to help even more Central Florida residents who are unable to help themselves right now. We invite everyone in the community to join the effort and make a difference in the lives of your neighbors.”
