Johnson Brunetti Partners with South Shore Habitat in North Easton Home Build

Staff volunteers from Needham-based retirement and investment advisory firm, Johnson Brunetti, recently completed two volunteer workdays with South Shore Habitat for Humanity, assisting in the rehabilitation of a home in North Easton, Massachusetts. The workdays took place on April 9 and April 16, 2026.

The volunteer effort is part of Johnson Brunetti’s ongoing commitment to community service. As part of the company’s culture, employees complete four hours of community service per quarter by volunteering at a local charity or donating blood at a local American Red Cross donation center.

“Helping out in the communities we serve is a core part of who we are,” said David Shapiro, Regional Director of Wealth at Johnson Brunetti. “Our team values the opportunity to step away from the office and make a tangible difference. Projects like this remind us that strong communities are built through collaboration, compassion, and action.”

Johnson Brunetti views community involvement as an essential part of doing business. By encouraging hands-on volunteerism—not just financial contributions—the firm strengthens relationships with local partners, builds trust with clients, and fosters a culture of purpose among employees and is attractive to prospective employees. It’s an approach that reflects a simple belief: giving back not only benefits the community, it strengthens the business as well.

Johnson Brunetti staff who participated in the two workdays for Habitat for Humanity included Lena Adams, Josh Altman, David Bartkus, Isaiah Brown, Nick Colantuono, Max Gordon, Michael Gurney, Marisol Handren, Jakob Hudanish, Jennifer Killilea, Max Miller, John Mulligan, Gabriella Muraca, Jackie Ng, David Shapiro, and Linda Walter.

South Shore Habitat for Humanity welcomed the support from Johnson Brunetti’s team.

“Volunteers are essential to what we do,” said Erin McGough, Executive Director of Development for South Shore Habitat for Humanity. “The commitment from organizations like Johnson Brunetti helps us continue our mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Their team’s energy and dedication made a real impact on this project.”

For those who participated, the experience was both meaningful and rewarding.

“It’s one thing to talk about giving back, but it’s another to be out there doing the work alongside your colleagues,” said Nicholas Colantuono CFP®, a financial advisor at Johnson Brunetti. “Seeing the progress over the two days and knowing it will help a family in our community made it incredibly worthwhile.”
