Company supports 10 specially adapted homes for wounded veterans in 2026, expands team member participation in Wreaths Across America, and strengthens efforts to connect service members with manufacturing careers

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 2026-- LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, is expanding its support for veterans, military families, and active-duty service members through nonprofit partnerships, team member volunteer opportunities, and workplace initiatives designed to support those who have served.

In 2026, LP continued its work with the Gary Sinise Foundation, Heroes MAKE America, and Wreaths Across America while strengthening its commitment to veterans in the workplace. The company also signed the Military Friendly Employer Pledge, reinforcing its support for veterans, National Guard members, and reservists.

“Supporting the military community is one way we put our purpose into action,” said LP CEO Jason Ringblom. “Whether we’re helping build homes for wounded veterans, connecting transitioning service members with career opportunities, or honoring those who have served, we want our support to make a meaningful difference. This commitment extends throughout the year, not just on Veterans Day.”

Supporting veterans through housing partnerships

LP’s partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation began in 2022 through the LP Foundation. As part of the partnership, LP provides an annual monetary contribution and supplies all the LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding needed for specially adapted, mortgage-free homes built for severely wounded veterans. In 2026, LP supported 10 home projects, bringing its total support to more than 25 projects since the partnership began.

Bringing team members together to honor veterans

For the second consecutive year, LP is supporting Wreaths Across America, a national nonprofit whose mission is to remember fallen veterans, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom. In 2026, LP became an official national sponsor for the first time, expanding its support of the organization’s mission.

LP is also broadening team member involvement, with team members from the majority of its U.S.-based facilities expected to volunteer on Wreaths Across America Day, Dec. 19. Volunteers will place remembrance wreaths at veterans’ gravesites, joining communities across the country in recognizing the service and sacrifice of those who served.

“We’re excited to make this an annual tradition to honor those who came before us and gave so much,” said LP Financial Reporting Senior Manager MK Shealy.

Creating career pathways for transitioning service members

LP also supports efforts to help veterans translate their military experience into civilian careers. Through its sponsorship of the Manufacturing Institute’s Heroes MAKE America, the company participates in Heroes Connect events that introduce service members to career opportunities in manufacturing.

Within its own workforce, LP supports team members serving in the National Guard and Reserve through military leave policies and workplace benefits. The company’s support for these team members has been recognized by the Department of Defense through the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Above and Beyond Award.

By signing the Military Friendly Employer Pledge in 2026, LP further affirmed its commitment to supporting veterans and service members as they transition to civilian careers and continue their military service.

LP’s efforts reflect its purpose of Building a Better World™ through meaningful community partnerships, team member engagement, and a workplace that supports those who have served. The company remains committed to recognizing veterans and supporting military families throughout the year.
