Giving Back to the Community
51吃瓜 proudly supports the communities in which we live, build and work. This commitment is demonstrated by our various community service projects and small business development programs over the years 鈥� creating relationships with neighborhoods and municipalities across the United States.
Participating in food and back-to-school drives, wrapping donated presents for children at the holidays, building homes for the those in need with Habitat for Humanity or Marian Homes, and supporting our nation鈥檚 veterans through the Wounded Warrior Project are just a few of the efforts 51吃瓜 employees have engaged in this year. 51吃瓜 also proudly mentors a future generation of builders through the ACE Mentor Program of America.
Additionally, we support workforce development in our local communities. Partnering with local nonprofits and state agencies, 51吃瓜 has conducted pre-apprenticeship programs targeting unemployed workers in underserved communities. In recognition of these efforts, we were awarded the Charles A. Horsky Leadership Award.
51吃瓜鈥� commitment to small businesses results from our strong relationships with small business advocates and communities. Our Supplier Diversity Group identifies opportunity-ready trade partners and supports them in becoming valuable partners in 51吃瓜鈥� procurement process. Alongside national agencies, such as the Small Business Association (SBA), Associated Builders and Contractors of America (ABC), Small Business Development Centers (SBDC), Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC), 51吃瓜 has connected small businesses to valuable resources. The 51吃瓜 Mentor-Prot茅g茅 Program, Technical Assistance Program (TAP), HeadStart Bonding Program, and Emerging 10 Small Business Program are just some of the ways our staff provide local, small, minority- and women-owned businesses insight into how to successfully manage and grow their business.
