AUSTIN — DaBella, the national home improvement company headquartered in Austin, is honoring more than 200 veterans employed across its 68 locations in 27 states for Veterans Day, the company announced Wednesday.
Founded in 2011, DaBella has built a workforce of more than 2,400 employees nationwide, specializing in residential roofing, siding, windows and bathroom remodeling. Veterans and military-affiliated team members serve in a variety of positions across the organization, the company said.
"Veterans have already demonstrated what it means to serve something greater than themselves, and that is a quality we deeply respect at DaBella," founder and CEO Donnie McMillan Jr. said in the company's announcement. "We're incredibly proud that more than 200 veterans and military-affiliated employees are part of our team." Among those featured is Matthew Strong, a project coordinator at the company's Bend, Oregon, location who served in the U.S. Army from 2011 to 2016 and credits his service with teaching him adaptability and perseverance, the company said.
Through DaBella Cares, its charitable giving initiative, the company says it has contributed more than $70,000 in financial donations and home improvement products to military and veteran-support organizations over the past two years. "Military service doesn't stop making a difference when someone takes off the uniform," McMillan added in the announcement.
