Mungo Homes Celebrates 70 Years of Building Dreams and Supporting Communities in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant, SC: Mungo Homes Celebrates 70 Years of Building Dreams and Giving Back

There’s a buzz in the air in Mount Pleasant this October as Mungo Homes, a key player in the regional homebuilding industry, marks a significant milestone – its 70th anniversary. Founded by Michael J. Mungo in 1954, this company has not only focused on creating beautiful homes but has also made it a point to cultivate a strong culture focused on giving back to the community.

A Culture of Recognition

Mungo Homes has recently been the talk of the town, and for good reason! The company has received a series of accolades that showcase its dedication to creating a positive work environment. Just to highlight a few:

  • #5 Top Workplace in the U.S. for companies with 500-999 employees, based on feedback from employees.
  • #2 Top Workplace in South Carolina for companies with over 300 employees.
  • #11 Best Places to Work in Raleigh for medium-sized companies.
  • Recognized in Richmond among over 1,700 organizations in the Top Workplace Class of 2024.

“Company culture comes first for us. It is non-negotiable,” says CEO Steven Mungo. It’s clear that Mungo Homes values its employees and believes that a happy team leads to happy homeowners. Mungo adds, “We provide an environment where team members can flourish, be successful, and feel a part of a family.”

Giving Back: A Core Value

For Mungo Homes, giving back isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. The company has ramped up its philanthropic efforts through the Mungo Homes Foundation. This foundation stands on the pillars of supporting communities in areas such as economic development, education, and housing. It’s an initiative designed to make a tangible difference, especially when it comes to housing insecurity.

Recently, Mungo Homes broke ground on the first Michael’s House project. This special home honors the legacy of the company’s founder and aims to assist vulnerable families through the proceeds generated from its sale. The construction of this home is a true community effort, with Mungo Homes and its trade partners donating both labor and materials.

Supporting Local Causes

Once this home in Lexington, SC, is completed, the net proceeds will be donated to St. Andrews Village, a partnership between the United Way of the Midlands and the nonprofit Homeless No More. This vital organization focuses on stabilizing, sheltering, and housing families in need, making a significant impact on the community.

“We’ve always believed that giving back is the most important part of our success as a company,” Mungo emphasizes. It’s clear that the company wants to not only feel good about building houses but also about building a sustainable future for families throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.

Looking Ahead

As Mungo Homes celebrates its 70-year legacy, it looks forward to the future with optimism and determination. By continuing to invest in employee satisfaction and community support, they aim to maintain their status as a top workplace while expanding their charitable endeavors. The heartfelt commitment to serving others reflects Mungo Homes’ motto: “To serve so that others are empowered to thrive.”

In Mount Pleasant, it’s not just about bricks and mortar for Mungo Homes; it’s about building a community where everyone can feel supported and at home. As Steven Mungo surveys the landscape of what his company has achieved and the lives they’ve touched, he and his team clearly believe that their real success isn’t just measured in miles of homes built, but in the hearts positively impacted.
