Allison Transmission, which makes transmissions and propulsion systems that power vehicles of all types, including RVs, has completed a community service project in partnership with the Fuller Center for Housing, to help a central Indiana family realize its dream of home ownership.
Allison employees from across the organization volunteered to help build a home for a local family in Indianapolis. Over the course of three weeks, 170 volunteers from multiple organizations, including the company, dedicated more than 20,000 hours to complete the project. Allison Transmission also provided financial support to build the home. Allison had enough volunteers turn out that some were actually left on a waiting list because the project didn’t have room for them.
“Since 2010, Allison has partnered with the Fuller Center for Housing to support their mission to build homes for local families in need,” said Dave Graziosi, chairman and CEO of Allison Transmission. “I want to thank Fuller House for providing Allison the opportunity to be involved in this home building project. We were honored to play a role in helping Francine and her two young children, Lieben and Louange, achieve the American dream of home ownership.”
In addition to the contributions Allison provided to the home build, the company also pledged a $25,000 donation to the Fuller Center for Housing.
A dedication ceremony was held on Friday, Oct. 1, featuring members of Allison Transmission and the Fuller Center, who welcomed Francine and her children to their new home.
