American Standard helps to build a New Vision for a Community

American Standard donates products to build a "green" home for a community

The Frogtown Community House’s mission is one true transformation: they purchase foreclosed homes in hard-hit communities in the inner-city neighborhoods of Frogtown in Saint Paul, Minnesota and renovate them into community spaces that neighbors can be proud of. The latest home project is a “Green House”, a building that is so energy efficient that it generates more energy than it consumes, which will be used as a base for the project. The true transformation, however, is not that of the home, but the positive change that they’re hoping to bring to the community that inhabits the surrounding area, specifically focusing on integrating teens and young adults into a healthy environment.

American Standard is proud to have worked as a partner to the Frogtown Community project by generously donating products that will be used in the bathrooms and kitchen space of the “Green House” from the American Standard and Porcher brands including; bathroom faucets, accessories, kitchen sink, kitchen faucet and bathing products.
