Rooted in people, plugged into purpose — our commitment to community goes beyond building homes.
At Wayne Homes, we believe that a strong home starts with a strong community. Giving back isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of who we are. Whether we’re partnering with local nonprofits, supporting families, or stepping into community events, we show up with purpose, heart, and a long-term view toward making every place we build even better. We don’t just serve homeowners — we invest in the neighborhoods they call home, because where people thrive, communities flourish. We’re proud of the relationships we foster and the impact we make alongside partners and neighbors year after year.
Supporting Kids with Special Needs Through a Winter Classic
Wayne Homes is a long-standing sponsor of the Chili Open, an annual fundraiser benefiting the Akron Rotary Camp — a place where kids with special needs make memories and grow with support all year round. From sponsorship to festive event participation, this partnership is about more than chili — it’s about inclusion, community spirit, and opportunity.
Bringing Holiday Joy to Families Across Our Regions
Every year, Wayne Homes teams up with Toys for Tots to make the holidays brighter for children in need. We collect new toys, host fundraisers throughout the year, and celebrate the spirit of giving — because every child deserves joy and a little magic during the holiday season.

Hear what our homebuyers have to say
“Wayne Homes should be really proud of the quality of the homes they are building. We built our home with Wayne and moved in about 2 years ago. When the tornado came through, it crossed our road and yet we had very minimal damage – no lost shingles, no missing siding – even with winds around 155 mph. We are so grateful our house was spared from severe harm. It’s just incredible and a powerful testimony to the quality of Wayne Homes.” — Ashlee & Jeff Freeman
