At Northwest, we believe in the power of kindness and its impact on our communities. This year, we proudly celebrated our second annual Teammate Acts of Kindness Day, where our teams across the Southeast came together to spread goodwill and make a difference in the lives of others.

In Opelika, a teammate helped push someone’s car to the nearest gas station, while in Monroe, someone assisted in jumping a customer’s car. These thoughtful gestures demonstrated our commitment to extending kindness beyond our immediate team, touching the lives of our customers and showing them that we truly care about their well-being.

In a gesture of compassion and solidarity, our team recently participated in the 23rd Annual HomeAid Essentials Drive, a pivotal event aimed at supporting families grappling with homelessness in metro Atlanta. Understanding the critical needs of these vulnerable families, particularly women and children, we rallied together to collect and donate essential baby supplies such as diapers, wipes, and other necessities.
The significance of these donations cannot be overstated, especially considering that an estimated 4,770 individuals experience homelessness in metro Atlanta on any given night, with nearly 35% being women and children. For families facing economic hardship, the cost of diapers alone can pose a substantial burden, with babies requiring up to 12 diapers a day. By participating in the Essentials Drive, we sought to alleviate some of the stress and challenges faced by these families during times of crisis and transition.
Through the collective efforts of the metro Atlanta home building industry and generous community members, the Essentials Drive has amassed over 2.1 million baby items since its inception in 2002, providing invaluable support to countless families in need. We are honored to have been a part of this impactful initiative, contributing to the well-being and dignity of families in our community and reaffirming our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those facing adversity.
