Evergreen Apartment Group has been a part of the Delaware Apartment Association's Apartment Angels charity since its founding. Evergreen Apartment Group President and CEO, Kevin Wolfgang, started the charity when it was realized that there was a solution to help those who had found themselves in a temporary hardship and in need of housing, and to fill vacant apartments. The hope is that six months of donated rent by the participating apartment company will help a person and/or family get back on their feet and become a long-term renter. Evergreen Apartment Group has really been a pioneer and the leader in the multi-family industry in Delaware with regard to philanthropic engagement, and we are happy to participate in another cycle of helping Delaware families, this time, a Veteran’s family. This also marks a significant milestone for the Apartment Angels program. Since the program was founded and established in 2010, we have now donated more than $300,000 in housing grants.

Celeste is a single mom and a Veteran, who came upon hard times when she was in a terrible accident. Celeste and her son are the newest residents at Evergreen Apartments at Riverfront Heights, and we couldn’t be happier to have her. Like all applicants to the program, there is a multi-tiered screening process as well as an interview. Celeste seemed like a perfect fit for our Apartment Angels program as well as our Riverfront Heights community! She has family members that live in nearby neighborhoods of Wilmington, including an Aunt only a block from the Riverfront Heights property. Her son will be starting school in Downtown Wilmington, just minutes from Evergreen Apartments at Riverfront Heights, so this community is an ideal for their family.
