🎉 We are so excited to celebrate our first Welcome Home Fund closing, congratulations and welcome home Antonio and Nicole Warrick! 🔑

Our JWB Cares team is proud to help the Warricks achieve their homeowning dreams with $20,000 of downpayment assistance.

The Warricks are the first of our 8 Welcome Home Fund recipients to close on a home this year.

Your generosity continues to change lives and strengthen our Jacksonville community.

JWB is committed to building the Jacksonville community one resident at a time. That's why we created the Welcome Home Fund, which helps deserving families take the next step toward homeownership by providing $20,000 in down payment assistance.

Chosen by a group of Jacksonville's top non-profit leaders, these JWB residents show that they are exemplary representatives of the community we all call home.

If you're interested in being considered for this award, be on the lookout for updates on how to apply for this year's Welcome Home Fund!

📸 Our JWB Cares team recently spent a meaningful morning at The Jacksonville Humane Society and we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity.

From walking dogs to giving cats some extra attention, our teammates loved stepping in to support one of our community’s unsung heroes. Thank you to JHS, for having us!

Community isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about showing up, lending a hand, and making life better for those two‑legged or four‑legged who call this place home.

Big thanks to the JWB team for bringing energy, kindness, and time to give back. Here’s to more moments like this, building connection and care in our city.

📸 Our JWB team had a wonderful afternoon welcoming Big Brothers Big Sisters of America into our office ✨

At JWB we’re proud to partner with BBBS because one-on-one mentoring makes real, measurable difference in young lives. Research shows that kids who have a consistent mentor tend to do better in school, feel more confident, make stronger decisions, and build healthy relationships.

Our teammates love that they get to be part of someone’s life journey. Getting to spend time, share stories and laughs, and show up in a way that matters, that’s what it’s about.

We believe when we invest in the next generation, we’re not just giving back, we’re growing a stronger, more connected community together.
