Faith & community
Every year we reserve a block of days to work on projects the money can't reach — widow homes that need a ramp, parishes that need a roof repair, shelters that need more than paint. It's not charity. It's just the trade pointed in the right direction.
Why we do it
Juan's been doing volunteer construction through St. Ann's and the Spokane Catholic Charities network since 2009. The math is simple: we have the tools, the crew, and the know-how. Someone in this city needs a wall built, a ramp installed, or a foundation shored up — and can't pay for it. So we go.
Angel grew up watching his dad spend Saturdays on those jobs. Now the whole shop plans around them. We schedule our paid work so there's room to answer a call when it comes.
