Giving Back in Recent Years

Jim serves on the Bella Vita board and this year the Moline Builders team renovated the pregnancy center space with new doors, trim, and paint. Jim is also in conversation with the Cherry Street Mission about another home construction project in the upcoming years to assist with their community work. He has previously completed projects with them.

We also just hosted our 12th annual company golf outing where more than 100 people participated in golf, meals, and volunteering. We raised $5,600 for Mom’s House of Toledo, which provides resources and childcare for single moms in our community. This event is also a lot of fun and a fantastic way to build camaraderie amongst our trade partners and show them our appreciation.

In 2023, we hosted an exhibit at the first ever Build My Future event at the Wood County Fairgrounds where our framers taught high schoolers the building process using a 6x8 shed as our canvas! We are currently in the process of acquiring our builder credits by investing time in the workshops prepared by the HBA.
