Pennington, a Georgia-born seed and lawn care company, will
celebrate the anniversary of 75 years in business by partnering
with Habitat for Humanity International to help build a home
alongside volunteers and a future Habitat family in Greene County,
GA. Company volunteers will also hold Habitat build days in other
areas of the country where Pennington has facilities including
Benton County, AZ, Salem, OR, Cornelius, NC and Springfield,
MO.
“The strength of our company comes from honesty, integrity,
quality and people,” says Sonny Pennington, son of the founder and
current member of parent company Central Garden & Pet’s board
of directors. “We are so thankful that we have been able to put
these values to work for Habitat homeowners through our
partnership, especially during a significant year in our company’s
history.”
Pennington and Habitat believe in providing homeowners with
access to decent, safe and affordable homes. This partnership will
pave the way for Habitat families to build strength, stability and
independence in their new homes.
“We are grateful to have Pennington join us as a new partner,”
said Julie Laird Davis, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships
and Cause Marketing at Habitat for Humanity International. “They
are celebrating their 75th year in business by empowering Habitat
homeowners to gain access to affordable home ownership with sweat
equity and volunteer support.”
About Pennington
Some people look at a lawn as a place that requires mowing,
edging, seeding, fertilizing, and more – in short, as a chore. At
Pennington they see the lawn as an outdoor living space for making
unforgettable memories and they’re dedicated to ensuring that your
lawn is ready for any occasion. They’ve been at this for a long
time, beginning in 1945 as a small seed store on Main Street in
Madison, Georgia. They’re proud that their founder Brooks
Pennington Sr.’s spirit of entrepreneurship is still with them
today driving them to make the finest grass seed, soil amendments,
fertilizers, and wild bird seed that money can buy. From baseball
games, parties, water balloon fights or playing fetch with the
family dog, millions of homeowners have relied on Pennington to set
their lawns and gardens as the stage for lifelong memories. To

About Habitat for Humanity
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live,
Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a
community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing
organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit
working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and
in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a
hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a
place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own
homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through
financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support
affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the
strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better
lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more,
