Integrate Community Celebrates One Year of Charitable Impact
Last year saw the launch of Integrate Construction Partners’ Integrate Community program, a community impact initiative propelled through volunteering, MBE/WBE inclusion, donations, and event sponsorships.
Since starting the program, Integrate has donated over $36,000 to area organizations doing good in their communities, which have included Rung for Women, Operation Food Search, Lake St. Louis Police Association, and SSM Health St. Anthony Foundation.
Sharing in the good deeds, Integrate employees have also volunteered over 100 hours to efforts benefitting a number of local causes, which include an annual day packing donated food at Operation Food Search, constructing new kennels for pets of women seeking shelter at The Women’s Safe House, and building wooden trees to be decorated by local artists for City Foundry STL’s annual “Garland and Graffiti” holiday charity fundraiser.
“At Integrate Construction Partners, we firmly believe that success is not just measured in projects completed, but also in the positive impact we leave on the communities we serve. Through dedication, compassion, and collaboration, we have shown that construction is not just about bricks and mortar, but about building stronger, more vibrant communities,” said Integrate President Scott Zola.
Sponsoring/hosting events for a variety of area organizations has grown and is an important aspect of Integrate’s program as well. This year’s efforts have included:
- Sponsoring “Taste of the Town” event in Poplar Bluff, MO to fund Boys & Girls Club of the Heartland’s new Regional Workforce Development Teen Center
- Hosting students from Cardinal Ritter College Prep. for “Design Day” to introduce students to careers in architecture and construction
- Sponsoring CareSTL Health’s Inaugural Golf Tournament and 54th Anniversary Gala to help fund healthcare for underserved communities in St. Louis City
- Sponsoring CareSTL Health’s 5K/1 Mile Opioid Awareness Walk
- Participating in KidStruction Week to benefit St. Louis Children’s Hospital
