Johnson Plastics Gets Into the Act With Extreme Makeover's Jubilee House Vet Shelter

A&E Magazine / Recognition Review

Johnson Plastics was pleased to play a role in the “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” Jubilee House makeover,(continue reading...) which aired on ABC on Sunday, Sept. 25.

The Step “N Stages Jubilee House, located in Fayetteville, N.C. provides temporary shelter and services for homeless female veterans and their children. More than 4000 volunteers, including businesses, civic leaders and individuals, donated supplies, money and more than 33,000 man-hours to build the house.

Johnson Plastics and Rowmark provided Rowmark Metalgraph Plus Brushed Antique gold with a Black core through Mark Wilson of Pro Sport Graphics in Fayetteville. The material was used to create the plaques that make up a ten-foot high wall on either side of a fireplace in the new dining room. First Lady Michelle Obama, who supported the project and was featured in the Extreme Makeover episode, participated in placing the plaques, which will honor individual female veterans served by Jubilee House.

“We are pleased to have played a role in this very worth-while project,” said Margaret Johnson, JP’s Director of Marketing. “Metalgraph Plus is the perfect choice for the Jubilee House. The engraving laminate has an integrated hardcoat and sub-surface brush finish for superior protection, and is fingerprint resistant.”

The Steps ‘N Stages Jubilee House was founded by Barbara Marshall, a 15-year Navy veteran and chaplain, who used her own funds, to help the increasing number of homeless women and their families in Fayetteville (home of Ft. Bragg army base). The new house will provide permanent housing for Marshall and her family, temporary housing for several families, and space and facilities to provide services for additional female veterans in need including: assistance with VA claims, job searches, discharge upgrades and financial literacy; transportation to the VA for medical care and treatment; and mentoring, peer counseling and support groups.
