NEENAH, WI — J. J. Keller & Associates Inc. and the J. J. Keller Foundation Inc. have announced a partnership with the Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity to sponsor and build a second home in 2008.

This project marks J. J. Keller's fifth sponsorship of a Greater Fox Cities Habitat for Humanity home in which the company's associates provide the majority of manpower for the build.

The J. J. Keller Foundation donated $165,000 to Habitat Humanity in 2008, which included support of the 100th Fox Valley home.

More than 95 associates from J. J. Keller are building the home, which will be located at 516 S. Weimar St., Appleton. Between four and eight associates will be scheduled to work on each date scheduled for the duration of the project, which kicks off in October. Each crew also includes a site leader and contractors, all assigned by Habitat for Humanity, and members of the family who will own the house. The project is expected to be completed by mid-January.

The future homeowners, Wachong and Susan Soua Xiong, were born in Laos and both of their families escaped the tragedy of communism to Thailand, where they were raised. Along with their six children, the Xiong family is honored to be the recipient of a Habitat for Humanity home.

Robert Keller, president of the J. J. Keller Foundation Inc., and chairman and chief executive officer of J. J. Keller & Associates Inc., said, "J. J. Keller continues to be dedicated to our community and we continue to be proud of our associates and their willingness to donate their time and talents to this worthy cause."
