Bayport, Minnesota – November 06, 2026 -- Andersen Corporation has donated windows and doors to 12 veteran families and home projects across the United States since 2018 through its partnership with Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW). The nonprofit builds injury-specific, mortgage-free accessible homes for veterans who sustained severe injuries in service.
Andersen backs the nonprofit with products, cash and matched employee gifts
Beyond product donations, Andersen provides financial support and matches employee donations to JAH4WW. Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen founded the organization in 2009. Allen said Andersen's partnership helps JAH4WW create homes where veterans can live more independently.
Latest project delivers a custom home to Marine Lance Cpl. Josh Wege in Wisconsin
Andersen supported completion of a mortgage-free accessible home in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, for Marine Lance Corporal Josh Wege, who sustained life-changing injuries in Afghanistan. Wege and his family received the keys to a home designed around his accessibility and mobility needs. JAH4WW, local businesses, tradespeople and supporters collaborated on the build.
Andersen sales manager guides product selection from drawings to completion
Charlie Jackson, an account sales manager and 10-year Andersen employee, has worked on several veteran home projects in his region. He coordinates logistics and supports product selection alongside project teams during construction.
Depending on the project, window and door specifications may include wider openings, low- or zero-threshold transitions, accessible hardware placement and patio door solutions. These are intended to ease movement through the home and between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
"Being involved from the drawings and product selection through the home's completion makes these projects especially meaningful," Jackson said.
