Epcon Communities Launches New Philanthropic Initiative
With the goal of providing meaningful service to its home city as well as its six other regional markets, Dublin, Ohio-based home builder Epcon Communities recently launched the Epcon Communities CARES Foundation. The initiative is built on the principles of compassion, action, resources, empowerment and service, and will allow the company to provide community service across six main pillars, which include: cancer care and research, pediatric care, military and first responders, animal welfare, disaster relief, and hunger and homelessness.
