Giving back is instilled in who we are.
Giving back to the community is embedded in our DNA. We actively support more than 50 local charities.
We provide materials as well as our project managers, superintendents and laborers to charitable organizations across Greater KC.
And we applaud our employees who volunteer to renovate houses, make presentations to student groups, fundraise for special causes, work at food pantries and remain active in their community churches, schools, scout groups and more.
In 2024, we fought to end hunger, poverty, homelessness, and diaper needs in Kansas City.W
