OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Kent Design Build embodies its tagline "Lead. Build. Serve." through meaningful community involvement and support for local non-profit organizations. Our commitment goes beyond monetary donations; we actively engage in hands-on volunteer work, fostering a culture of service and philanthropy within our team. Employees are encouraged to dedicate their time and skills to various charitable activities throughout the year, including weekends spent supporting events like the Miracle League baseball games and the Special Olympics.

Understanding the importance of work-life balance and community contribution, we also allow our team members to volunteer during working hours, ensuring they have ample opportunities to give back without compromising their professional responsibilities. This approach not only benefits the community but also enriches our employees' lives, providing them with a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Our employees actively participate in volunteering at organizations such as the Northshore Food Bank, Second Harvest in Lafayette, Northshore Humane Society, and Habitat for Humanity. In addition, we adopt a family in our community during the Christmas season. Employees shop for gifts, wrap presents, and deliver items to the adopted family. Serving our community with time, talents and resources is a core value at Kent Design Build. We aspire to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

OUR STORIES

North Shore Food Bank

The North Shore Food Bank has an incredible impact on the St. Tammany Parish community. Dedicated to combating food insecurity since 1984, they have grown from serving 400 families a year to 300 families a week!

We wholeheartedly support their mission, so no one in our community has to choose between necessities like food and other essentials. Kent Design Build was not only integral in constructing the food bank's warehouse, our employees regularly volunteer at food drives and special events. These partnerships are vital to ensure that the shelves are stocked year-round.

It’s meaningful collaborations like these that clearly demonstrate we are all stronger together.

Habitat for Humanity: St. Tammany West

We are honored to partner with Habitat for Humanity’s St. Tammany West chapter and contribute our skills to the creation of safe and affordable homes for our community. The West St. Tammany chapter is the 10th affiliate in the nation and they have built over 290 homes, an impressive achievement! Our collaboration is inspired by their mission: to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

We’ve seen firsthand the housing challenges in our community, from homelessness and substandard living conditions to the heavy burden of unaffordable rent. Habitat for Humanity proves that stability of home leads to long-term success. Serving our community has been a very important part of Kent Design Build’s mission since our inception in 1996.

Thank you to the St. Tammany West chapter for turning the dream of homeownership into a reality for so many deserving families in our community.
