LP Building Solutions provides support for veterans
LP Building Solutions is expanding its partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation by donating 100 percent of the LP SmartSide Trim & Siding needed for the specially adapted mortgage-free homes built for wounded veterans.
The Gary Sinise Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2011 by actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, continues to support veterans through its R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment). This initiative constructs specially adapted, mortgage-free "smart homes" for wounded heroes.
“We’re humbled to be part of something so meaningful,” said LP Executive Vice President and General Manager of Siding Jason Ringblom. “These veterans have given so much for our country. It’s only right that we help ensure they have a safe place to call home.”
LP and the LP Foundation have supported the Gary Sinise Foundation since 2022, providing financial contributions and LP SmartSide products, including for the home of Retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Patrick Scrogin earlier this year.
“We are honored to have LP Building Solutions as a national partner of the Gary Sinise Foundation, a company that truly shares our mission to serve our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders and their families who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms and keep us safe,” said Gary Sinise Foundation Executive Director Donna Mercier. “On behalf of our founder Gary Sinise, whose support for our nation’s veterans and first responders dates back more than 40 years, we are deeply grateful to our Nashville neighbor, LP Building Solutions, for expanding its support of the Gary Sinise Foundation to reach even more heroes in need around the country.”
Over the years, the LP Foundation has contributed over $22 million to nonprofits and public schools, with a focus on supporting the communities in which LP operates.
