Corporate Groups
Our Community Partner program provides business groups with unique team-building experiences that boost employee morale and connect you to the community. Let us help you make your values visible.
Faith-Based Groups
Faith-based groups are important partners in our mission and have been from our founding. Building together allows entire congregations to use their varied gifts to put God’s love into action.
Civic / Community Groups
Community groups and other nonprofit organizations play a critical role in our mission. No matter how your group gives back, you’ll be helping build brighter futures for hardworking families.
