Since 2006, Nissan North America has partnered to sponsor and volunteer-build a home in Williamson County for a hard-working family. House seven this year is being built for Ms. Annie Dixon, a Franklin-native who has worked at the Community Child Care Center for 38 years. Her new home will be on Natchez Street just a short walk from her place of employment.

Funding for Dixon’s home is part of the $1.5 million donation to Habitat for Humanity International that Nissan announced in September 2012. In the Americas, Nissan will fund the construction of homes in Arizona, California, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Toronto, Canada.

The Nissan-sponsored Habitat home is equipped with many “green living” features, including low-flowing plumbing fixtures, programmable thermostats, energy-efficient fluorescent lighting, high-performance windows and ENERGY STAR® appliances. These eco-friendly amenities align with Nissan’s Green Program, which supports efforts to reduce the company’s impact on the environment. Our thanks again to our partner Nissan and the over 200 volunteers who donate their time each year to build with us!
