Owen-Ames-Kimball Company has donated $500 to help the Lee Building Industry Association Builders Care program provide free home repairs to disadvantaged Lee County residents.

“This donation demonstrates OAK’s ongoing commitment to Builders Care, especially during these trying times,’ said Heidi Taulman, Builders Care executive director. “We are so grateful for their support.”

Builders Care is the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA). Its objective is to provide emergency repairs and construction services to elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged people who are unable to obtain home repairs through traditional means. Builders Care enlists the volunteer services of Lee BIA members and leverages grants and donated materials to provide construction and remodeling services to qualified homeowners throughout Lee County. Most recent top corporate sponsors include Armadillo Underground and Real Estate Investment Society.

Builders Care is headquartered at the Lee BIA offices at 4210 Metro Parkway at Suite 100 in Fort Myers. More information is available by calling 938-0056.
