This month’s tip is:
Use your talents and resources to help the community Clay McQuerry, Roy Ragland, and Dave “Safety Dave” Redlin of Progressive Environmental and Safety Company, came together to work on Rebuilding Together Clay County for their annual build day. This event served 27 different locations in Clay County and improved roofs, landscaping, interior structures, as well as other tasks to rebuild homes and lives of those who need assistance. This event could not have occurred without the time and labor of 400 volunteers, as well as the resources McQuerry is able to purchase with monetary donations, and surplus materials donated by builders such as Homes by Chris.
We proudly support the home building industry.
Donating your extra materials to an organization such as Rebuilding Together Clay County is just another way builders can leave a positive impact on their communities. If you don’t know of an organization like this in your immediate area, consider supporting this one....you won’t regret it! 2
