Meet the People of Hope

When Jeff Rutt made the transition from a dairy farmer in Lancaster, Pa. to a businessman, he never envisioned what a significant impact he would one day make on the world. Today, just a little more than 20 years later, Jeff Rutt has successfully founded Keystone Custom Homes, HOPE International and Homes for Hope.

While Homes for Hope is a nonprofit designed to raise money for HOPE International by building homes on a mostly pro bono basis, Jeff Rutt's third company, Keystone Custom Homes is also involved in supporting both nonprofits. Keystone Custom Homes not only donates a percentage of each home sale to Homes for Hope, but it also runs annual social media campaigns designed to raise money for these  organizations.

This year's campaign, "People of Hope," takes an inside look into some of the dedicated men and women whose businesses are involved in the Homes for Hope mission. These subcontractors, builders and suppliers include:

•       AAA Painting Group who has participated in three projects by donating time and materials to paint the new homes.
•        Storm Master who has installed gutters on homes free of charge for the past four years.
•         Living Stones Masonry who has provided labor and material for three homes.

Information from an interview with the above trade partners and several more is being published on the Keystone Custom Homes blog throughout the months of November, December and January. These posts and organizations are also recognized on Keystone Custom Homes' social media outlets. The goal of all of this is to raise awareness and money for Homes for Hope.
