Community Involvement
Building Better Communities
At Essex, we believe that creating a positive living experience extends beyond the grounds of our communities and into each neighborhood that we serve. At a local level, we participate in school supply drives, fundraisers, holiday gift drives, and more. At the corporate level, we are passionate about giving back in the form of organized workplace giving and donating our time to a variety of volunteer activities.
