Gilbane Building Company recognized National Volunteer Month in April by promoting its recently initiated volunteer time off program, which is designed to support its employees’ community involvement and passion for giving back.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to building and delivering handmade, fully furnished beds to children in need, partnered with KB Home, one of the largest and most recognized homebuilders in the United States, and Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, to give back.

Power Home Remodeling donated over 366,000 goods, ranging from food to personal care items, and provided over 1,200 volunteer hours to deserving nonprofits across the country for their annual Power of Giving initiative. This year’s monumental donation is a 384 percent increase compared to 2021.

With 14 volunteers and 128 hours, USGBS Minnesota devoted their own energy to partner with Carbon Zero Home, a nonprofit that transforms dysfunctional, energy-wasting homes into smart, efficient solutions to the climate problem. Volunteers from BASF Corp. assisted USGBC Minnesota with waterproofing and sealing a home to make it more energy-efficient.

Simpson Strong-Tie, the industry leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, joined forces with Habitat for Humanity to send five company employees to help with a week-long Global Village build in the town of Amarante, Portugal, this past April.
