Home improvement company Home Genius Exteriors has donated more than $320,000 worth of windows and doors to Habitat for Humanity chapters in Summit County and western Pennsylvania.

The donation marks the beginning of a partnership between Home Genius and Habitat for Humanity that will allow customers to donate their old windows and doors after new installations.

"When a community business reaches out to us offering a partnership, it's a great opportunity to engage with them to support our local building efforts," said Rochelle Sibbio, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Summit County, in a statement. "The donated items will be made available to customers that shop in our ReStore for their DIY projects. We are so pleased to share this opportunity with other affiliates like Pittsburgh and areas where the Home Genius Exteriors has a presence.”

Habitat for Humanity of Summit County held a kickoff event Jan. 30.

Home Genius Exteriors operates in eight states with over 350 employees, providing roofing, siding, windows and other home improvement services.

The donation will benefit Habitat chapters in Summit County and Greater Pittsburgh. Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates homes for families in need through partnerships with local businesses and volunteers.
