The road toward recovery in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishs just got easier to travel, thanks to Nissan North America’s generous donation of two full-sized Titan trucks to Bayou Area Habitat for Humanity. The new trucks will provide another valuable tool in the rebuilding effort.

“We are proud to represent Nissan and grateful for their donation to our affiliate…we are so blessed to have so many volunteers from all over helping families get into their new homes, “ said Jeanne Autin, Executive Director.  The truck donation is part of a larger gift to Habitat for Humanity International’s Operation Home Delivery program. Nissan is presenting 50 Titan trucks to Habitat and its affiliates in hurricane-affected areas. The retail value of the donation is more than $1 million.

“We recognize that it will take a long time and enormous efforts to rebuild along the Gulf Coast, “ said Dan Gaudette, senior vice president , North American Manufacturing and Quality Assurance, Nissan North America. “With these Titan trucks, Nissan will help that work proceed.”

Since the hurricanes, Habitat’s Operation Home Delivery program has provided volunteers the opportunity to help frame several hundred homes intended for families impacted by the back-to-back hurricanes. Currently, more than 100 of the homes are under construction or completed with more getting under way each week.
