NY Giants, Bob's, Habitat For Humanity Finish Homes For Veterans

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ – Members of the New York Giants helped deliver pieces by Bob’s Discount Furniture to two homes recently built by Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County for military veterans.

Just before Thanksgiving, the veterans, along with their families, will move into the two new townhomes on Jefferson Avenue in Washington Township, according to the non-profit.

On Friday morning, former New York Giant Jonathan Casillas and Bob’s employees were on hand to welcome the Cano and Nieves-DeSimone families. Ahead of their arrival, volunteers arranged the furniture, which was pre-selected by the families, to help make for a big reveal.

Altogether, four new townhomes were built in the township by Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County, along with help from Bob's Discount Furniture and the New York Giants.

For the last two years, the entities have partnered on the builds, sending volunteers to sheetrock, apply insulation and paint. The three also teamed up to provide $5,000 worth of new furniture to the two families.
