AMBLER, PA — Bradford White Corporation announced a $10,000 donation to Home Repair Services (HRS) of Kent County, a nonprofit that provides income-based services to vulnerable homeowners in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.
The donation will support HRS’s repair program, which focuses on resolving health, safety, and sanitation issues in local homes. This includes vital services such as water heater repair and replacement.
“This funding will help provide essential hot water to improve the health, safety, and sanitation of homeowners in Kent County,” said Rebecca Owens, senior manager of communications for Bradford White. “We’re proud to assist families in the area live more comfortably in their own homes.”
Home Repair Services completes over 2,000 critical repairs annually for low-income families, including over 150 repairs for mobile homeowners with an average income of $21,929.
