EGStoltzfus Concludes Homes for HOPE with Ribbon Cutting

EGStoltzfus Homes is thrilled to announce the official completion of our latest Homes for HOPE project.

The recent ribbon-cutting ceremony marked not just the end of construction, but the start of a new chapter for both the homeowners and those around the world who will benefit from this special initiative.

Making a Difference Through Homebuilding

Homes for HOPE is a nonprofit program from HOPE International that partners with homebuilders around the country to help fight global poverty. Builders and their trade partners donate or discount their time, materials, and expertise to build a home, and proceeds from the home sale go to HOPE International’s microfinance and economic development programs.

This latest project marks our 10th partnership with Homes for HOPE. The home EGS constructed is located in our Meadows at Strasburg community in Lancaster County, PA and features our first-ever, four-bedroom Edison plan.

The family who purchased the Edison was touched by the home’s connection to HOPE International and honored to play a part in supporting their mission.
