Itchko Ezratti and GL Homes Philanthropy: Supporting Florida Families
GL Homes employees volunteer and donate through food banks, housing groups and youth programs, helping more than 1.2 million Floridians facing food insecurity.
GL Homes founder and Chairman Itchko Ezratti has built a structured, statewide philanthropic commitment addressing hunger, housing stability, and education across Florida since the company's 1976 founding.
Hunger insecurity affects more than 1.2 million Floridians, prompting GL Homes to partner with Feeding South Florida and The Lord's Place Meal Mobile to deliver direct assistance where families need it most.
The 32,000-square-foot The Canyon Branch Library in Boynton Beach opened in January 2025 on land donated by GL Homes, while Career City brings Employees into elementary schools to introduce students to professional opportunities.
Habitat for Humanity chapters across Florida receive ongoing support, while the Make a House a Home initiative donates surplus furniture and household materials to families transitioning out of homelessness.
Programs such as Summer of Service and Volunteer Spirit mobilize Employees across the state annually, ensuring staff participate directly in nonprofit partner work and embed giving into company culture.
