Here for the long-term

When Pardee Homes begins work on one of its award-winning master-planned communities, the company makes a long-term commitment to existing residents of the area and those who will one day live in the homes the company builds.

The proposed Meadowood development at Interstate 15 and State Route 76 in the north San Diego County community of Fallbrook is a great example of the Pardee Homes philosophy.

Pardee Homes has established ties to the community, long before the first shovel of dirt has been turned to begin construction.

Community involvement

• Pardee has long supported the annual Fallbrook Avocado Festival, which is sponsored by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce.
• Following the devastating 2007 San Diego County wildfires, Pardee supported the Legacy Endowment, a local organization that assisted Fallbrook families that were affected by the fires.
• Pardee Homes is a proud sponsor of the Friends of the Fallbrook Library and has made significant contributions towards a new $11 million library the group is working to the fund.
• Pardee Homes also supports the Boys and Girls Clubs of North County, and the organization's mission to provide wholesome recreational opportunities for youth in the Fallbrook area.
• The company stepped up to the plate with a $25,000 donation to the Miracle League of San Diego, a nonprofit group that has built a ball field for children with disabilities. Fifth District County Supervisor Bill Horn is a strong proponent of the Miracle Field project.

Pardee's presence dates back more than 50 years

In fact, the company has had a presence in San Diego County for more than 50 years, and has a long tradition of philanthropy and community involvement.

One example is Pardee Homes' leadership with HomeAid San Diego, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building shelters for the homeless in San Diego County. Pardee has been a key sponsor of HomeAid's annual fundraising event, the Taste of North County. The company also participates in Project Playhouse, in which elaborate, whimsical playhouses are designed and constructed, and then auctioned off to benefit HomeAid's programs.

Another area of community involvement for Pardee is the company's support of local law enforcement. Recently, Pardee Homes and the Weyerhaeuser Company Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Pardee's parent company, gave a grant to the San Diego Police Foundation for the purchase and training of a new police dog. The grant also provided funding for school safety patrols at seven San Diego schools.

This community involvement adds up to a long-term commitment from Pardee Homes to work for the betterment of the neighborhoods it builds.
