Sixteen employees from Sanibel Captiva Community Bank and Nor-Tech Boats recently volunteered with Habitat for Humanity Lee and Hendry Counties to raise the walls on a new home in McNeill Village, Habitat’s newest HOA neighborhood in North Fort Myers.
The McNeill Village neighborhood spans 10 acres and will have 36 single-family homes. The three- and four-bedroom floorplans range from 1,300 to 1,400 square feet. Construction is underway, with the first homes scheduled to be completed this summer.
“We firmly believe that we have a responsibility to contribute positively to this community. Supporting Habitat for Humanity aligns perfectly with our values of social responsibility,” said Kyle DeCicco, president and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “By partnering with Habitat, we not only help provide safe and affordable housing for families in need but also foster a sense of empowerment and dignity. It’s an investment in the future and helps build stronger, more resilient communities.”
Habitat for Humanity is a private nonprofit organization that is funded through the generosity of local individuals, businesses and faith organizations. By partnering with donors and volunteers, Habitat builds new or rehabilitates existing homes and sells them to qualified, low-income families using an affordable mortgage. Monthly mortgage payments are set at 30% or less of the homeowner’s income making homeownership an affordable reality. For more information, visit habitat4humanity.org.
