Maxwell Supply Co. and RE/MAX Volunteers Frame COHFH's FIRST Cornerstone Creek House in OKC

By Kevan Goff-Parker, comm. director, COHFH

Maxwell Supply Company and Edmond’s RE/MAX at Home volunteers teamed up and framed the first house at Cornerstone Creek on Saturday, June 1, 2024, in far northwest Oklahoma City.

Sponsored by Maxwell Supply Company, the landmark home build is the first affordable house to be built at Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity’s (COHFH) newest and largest affordable housing development. The historic home build was the construction supply company’s seventh COHFH home build sponsorship in 17 years. COHFH Chair/CEO Ann Felton Gilliland said she is very grateful to Maxwell Supply for their leadership and ongoing support.

“Maxwell Supply Company’s ongoing support aligns perfectly with our mission – to put God’s love into action by building homes and nurturing hope,” Felton Gilliland said. “They sponsored and built our 1,000th house and it is only fitting that as our long-term supporters that they build the first home at Cornerstone Creek. All the volunteers did an excellent job and framed the new home in less than three hours, plus the company treated everyone to a delicious smoked rib and brisket barbecue lunch onsite.”

Maxwell Supply Company President Charlie Thomason said his company planned to do their home-build sponsorship last year as a part of Maxwell Supply Company’s 65th anniversary, but construction and permit delays pushed the event to this year.

“Once you do one (a home build), it’s in your blood – in your system – you want to do another one!” Thomason said. “And I’m glad that Ann gives us a year off or so to recuperate … then we do another one. So, this one is for our 65th anniversary and we’re just honored because it is great to help a neighbor and fellow Oklahomans.”

When Cornerstone Creek is completed in eight to 10 years, it will feature 450 homes, three parks with workout stations and a gazebo. Cornerstone Creek’s parents also have the opportunity to send their children to Piedmont, Oklahoma’s excellent schools.
