Boss JCB and Haven of Hope employees gather around a scissor lift JCB donated to the nonprofit.

JCB recently partnered with San Antonio nonprofit Haven for Hope to support individuals and families on their journey out of homelessness.

As part of the collaboration, JCB donated a scissor lift, a vital addition to Haven for Hope's facilities team, to enhance the maintenance of the organization's 22-acre campus.

"This generous gift from JCB has significantly improved our ability to manage critical campus operations," said Kim Jefferies, president and CEO of Haven for Hope. "From replacing light bulbs to installing signage, this equipment saves us time and costs, allowing us to focus resources on delivering life-changing programs."

The donation was presented during a Dec. 18, 2024, event and is part of JCB's broader initiative to foster meaningful change in San Antonio. Earlier this year, JCB broke ground on a $500 million facility in the city, representing the largest investment in its history and promising to bring economic opportunities and job growth to the region.

"JCB's collaboration with Haven for Hope reflects our deeply rooted belief in giving back to the communities where we operate," said David Carver, operations director of JCB San Antonio. "We are proud to provide tools, resources and opportunities that uplift and empower those in need."

Haven for Hope's mission is to offer a place of hope, love and new beginnings by providing, delivering or coordinating impactful care for people experiencing homelessness in San Antonio. Haven opened its doors in 2010. It serves approximately 9,800 clients annually, representing 85 percent of San Antonio's homeless population.

Haven for Hope serves as a beacon of hope for the community, offering a holistic approach to addressing homelessness. Its tailored programs and collaboration with more than 80 other area organizations, ranging from case management to addiction recovery and job training, empower residents to achieve long-term housing and employment stability.

Through its partnership with Haven for Hope, JCB also has committed to providing employment opportunities for program participants, connecting them with workforce training and career development resources. The company's San Antonio team further demonstrated its dedication by volunteering at the facility, recently assisting with the installation of pigeon netting to improve campus hygiene.

The scissor lift, facilitated by local dealer BOSS JCB, which has locations in Austin, Corpus Christi and San Antonio, exemplifies how businesses and nonprofits can work together to deliver lasting impacts. This donation underscores JCB's belief in leveraging its resources and expertise to make a tangible difference.
