RoMac Building Supply: Match Challenge Unlocked!
RoMac Building Supply has been an ardent supporter of Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build homes, community, and hope in Lake and Sumter Counties.
For the past six years, RoMac Building Supply has set a matching challenge of $20,000 in March; even at the height of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, RoMac stood by their pledge and this year was no different. In March 2021, RoMac’s generous match investment of $20,000 helped rally 95 community members to donate $30,388 during the campaign.
Compared to last year’s campaign, this was nearly a $5,000 increase in giving in the month of March and our highest match result to date!
The increase in dollars raised is only possible because of significant contributions from community members like you! And this year, it matters more than ever. As we face the economic impact of Covid-19 and see an increase of 80% in supply costs, we know that finding an affordable home will become ever more difficult. Because of individual supporters who heard the challenge set by RoMac and took action, we will continue to build strength, stability, and self-reliance for local families.
Through financial and material contributions, spreading awareness about Habitat Lake-Sumter’s work, and being an intrinsic partner to Habitat’s Youth Construction Academies; RoMac Building Supply plays an important role in the community.
“Don Magruder, CEO of RoMac Building Supply, has been a key driver in the success of Habitat Lake-Sumter’s Youth Construction Academy,” says Danielle Stroud, Deputy Director at Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter. “Not only is the financial investment made by RoMac vital to the success of the program, so is the community support promoted by RoMac throughout Lake County.”
Don Magruder leads the charge as Board President of both the Leesburg High School and the Villages Charter High School’s Youth Construction Academy; under his leadership, the Youth Construction Academy program has successfully built 6 homes with Habitat Lake-Sumter and seen successful expansion of the program to include South Lake High School last year, with Eustis High School set to begin their first build in Fall 2021.
