Garman Builders firmly believes in the importance of actively contributing to the communities where we live and work. Giving back to those around us has been a central Garman value since the company’s founding, but it was brought to the forefront in 2022. To commemorate our 50th year in business, Garman Builders has pledged a total of $50,000 to be distributed to ten charities active in both local and international communities throughout this year. One charity per month is spotlighted for support, and Garman team members are given the opportunity to add individual contributions to the company’s $5,000 donation. These donations support organizations such as North Star Initiative, a Lancaster-based nonprofit that houses and rehabilitates victims of sex trafficking. As of August, other charities supported through this initiative include the Lancaster Boys and Girls Club, Align Life Ministries, and Brittany’s Hope. These organizations provide life-changing aid to underprivileged children and other vulnerable groups. In addition to Garman’s 50th-anniversary initiative, the company has continued to uphold other established avenues of giving back. Members of the Garman team participated in Align Life Ministries’ Move for Life event in May, raising support for crisis pregnancy services. In August, Garman sponsored a local golf tournament in support of the Warwick Education Foundation, sending several team members to participate in the event. Throughout the year, all Garman team members are given the opportunity to raise funds for community organizations while focusing on their health by engaging in company-wide wellness challenges. Garman Builders also continues to support community fundraiser events through donations of bottled water, which allow these events to reduce operating costs and direct more of their proceeds to their intended recipient. This year’s water sponsorships included events such as the Bridge of Hope Annual Golf Classic fundraiser.
