The HGTV personalities, 39, who have been working with the non-profit since the mid ’90s, joined more than 40 volunteers to help raise the walls of two new houses in Nashville on Monday, April 2, in support of the organization’s second annual “Home Is the Key” campaign. According to Habitat, the monthlong initiative helps “bring people around the country together to raise awareness of the critical need for access to affordable housing.” Future homeowners Ashlee Walker Pride and Amanda Osborne joined the brothers in the build.

“There’s so much heart and passion behind it,” Drew, who finished fourth during the 25th season of Dancing With the Stars, told Us. “Amanda [and] her son Rodney [are] here actually helping hammering in nails and working with us too. Amanda has two little daughters as well [and] the fact that she’s doing that for her family, she’s willing to spend all her day working her full-time job and then come and do this on top of that. It means so much.”

Meanwhile, Jonathan pointed out that the biggest misconception surrounding Habitat for Humanity is that the organization “gives away” houses. “Habitat works alongside the homeowners and they build these beautiful homes together,” he explained. “The homeowners get a zero interest mortgage so the payments are more affordable. The homeowners actually pay back the value, the set value of the home to Habitat with that mortgage. That way, not only have they built a lot of equity into the house and they’ve got this great asset, but they also now allow Habitat to take those funds and benefit so many more houses.”

Drew noted to Us that for those who want to help the non-profit organization, you don’t have to be handy to be a volunteer. “Habitat has done a great job of educating everyone out there that you don’t have to be in the industry, you don’t have to be a contractor to help. You don’t have to be a TV personality, you don’t have to have a lot of money,” he said. “Lending a hand out here, a good chunk of [volunteers] have never done any construction before. Whether you donate money or spread the word through friends and family on social media, there are so many ways you can effect another person’s life in a positive way.”

One company in particular rolled up their sleeves and did something good for their community. Let’s all take a lesson from this and remember to give back in any way we can!

Earlier this week, NewsON announced its donation of $10,000 to the Fayetteville, North Carolina Habitat for Humanity chapter to help rebuild communities affected by the devastation of Hurricane Matthew.

NewsON, a resource for live and on-demand local newscasts as well as local news clips on mobile and connected TV devices, brought consumers together to raise money and share their support for an organization that was chosen based on viewers’ votes via a social media poll.

The organization aimed its latest community effort towards Hurricane Matthew relief campaign to give its viewers a voice in the relief efforts.

The national campaign encouraged its audience to download the NewsON app to stay informed with crucial Hurricane Matthew updates throughout the storm. For every download, the company pledged to donate $1 during their week of Hurricane Matthew coverage, up to $10,000. Then, NewsON viewers participated in a poll on social media to determine the organization to receive the donation. Habitat for Humanity received 47% of the votes and won.

“Although Hurricane Matthew has passed, the toughest part of rebuilding still lies ahead,” said Louis Gump, CEO of NewsON.

“We were proud to provide live local coverage of the areas and people along the East Coast affected by Hurricane Matthew during this devastating storm. One of our top priorities is connecting people to their communities. We are honored to join many others in supporting Habitat for Humanity in their efforts to rebuild affected communities on behalf of our viewers.”

Ruthie Dent, VP of Marketing and Special Events for Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity, was thrilled with the donation news and said, “Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity is so grateful for the generous support of the families who were devastated by the recent storm.”

“Hurricane Matthew tore through our Habitat village leaving broken hearts and broken homes. With the help of local volunteers and community partners, this donation from NewsON will help us rebuild homes and restore hope. Thank you for being a champion for these families.”
