“We recognize the sacrifice that military members and their families make to serve our country, and we’re honored to give back to them every year. We hope these homes will give them the chance to put down roots in communities where they can thrive for years to come,” said Phillippe Lord, CEO of Meritage Homes, in a press release. “We’re grateful to Operation Homefront for their continued partnership, and to our employees, suppliers and trade partners who play a critical role in helping make these donations possible.” 

Spc. Timothy Hunter, a Navy and National Guard veteran, and his family will receive a new 2,300+ square-foot, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home located in the River Glen community in Angier, NC.  

“It [means] the world to us to finally be under the same roof, and we [can’t wait] to have Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthday parties with the whole family in our home,” said the Hunter family in a press release. “Plus, this home [will] give us a sense of community and connection with neighbors that we [have been missing] with apartment living.”
