June 26, 2026 - Alexandria, LA – Crest Industries is proud to present the 2026 We Win Together Award to long-time community partner, the Hope House.

The Hope House is a nonprofit organization that provides safe transitional housing, training, and essential services to the homeless in central Louisiana. This critical work empowers an average of 100 residents to independence through technology training, financial literacy courses, free child care, and other development programs each year.

The We Win Together Award was established to honor Crest's core values and recognize a person or organization who exemplify collaboration, continuous improvement, and a measurable impact on the local community.

The Hope House of Central Louisiana was honored with the award because of their work to equip residents for an independent life through collaboration with local businesses, service providers and nonprofit organizations.

“It''s not just about providing housing," says Callie Lohman, DIS-TRAN Steel Director of Fab Operations and Hope House Board member. "It's about truly giving them life skills to go back out and find employment and to feel confident in themselves.”

“I thank Hope House for having these doors open for people like me who are lost, don't know where to go, how you're going to live[...] this place gave me all of that. It saved my life.”
