Celebrating National Rebuilding Month 2024: Markon's Commitment to Community and Sustainability

Written by Julie Stubbs | Apr 30, 2024 1:45:00 PM

In the spirit of renewal and community service, Rebuilding Together's National Rebuilding Day and National Rebuilding Month stand as beacons of hope and collaboration, bringing together volunteers, communities, and organizations to repair and revitalize homes across the nation.

This year, as we embrace the core values of National Rebuilding Month, Markon is proud to announce its partnership with local Rebuilding Together chapters and other charitable organizations to make a tangible difference.

As part of our commitment to not only serve our communities but also to uphold environmental sustainability, Markon has embarked on a unique initiative. Following a comprehensive rebranding, we found ourselves with an abundance of construction safety gear that, while still in perfect condition, no longer aligned with our new brand identity. However, in the spirit of National Rebuilding Month, we saw an opportunity to transform what could have been waste into valuable resources for those working tirelessly to rebuild communities.

Our journey began with a generous donation to the Colorado chapter of Rebuilding Together, an organization dedicated to repairing homes, revitalizing communities, and rebuilding lives. The safety gear, essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of volunteers and workers, was received with gratitude.

Furthermore, we extended our support to the Alice Ferguson Foundation, an organization with a storied history of environmental education and advocacy. By donating safety gear to support their sustainability and environmental stewardship efforts, we are proud to contribute to their mission of inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders.

In the coming days, Markon is excited to further its contributions by donating additional items to the DC chapter of Habitat for Humanity. This initiative concluded with our Open House event on Friday, April 26, where employees were encouraged to donate old safety gear and other apparel items bearing Markon's old branding. This event served not only as a testament to our commitment to community service but also reinforced our culture of giving and sustainability.

As we move forward, Markon remains dedicated to leveraging our resources, expertise, and passion for service to make a meaningful difference. Our partnerships with Rebuilding Together, the Alice Ferguson Foundation, and Habitat for Humanity are reflections of our core values and our unwavering commitment to building a better future for all.

National Rebuilding Day and the entire National Rebuilding Month serve as powerful reminders of the impact we can achieve when we come together for a common purpose. At Markon, we are honored to contribute to this noble cause, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to support our communities and the environment. Together, we can rebuild, revitalize, and renew, creating a brighter future for generations to come.
