VPC BUILDERS

Building a Better World

Helping others is part of our DNA at VPC Builders.

At VPC Builders, we care about doing our part to make the world a better place, from helping people build their dreams to supporting organizations committed to improving our local communities.

Our core values encourage our team to do the right thing, which applies to our day-to-day work as well as our dedication to serving our neighbors.

We support local charities and nonprofit organizations financially and personally through volunteer work and other services. Community is everything to us because we’re a part of it, and we pledge to serve first, give back, and have fun doing it.

Our Mission

Our mission is to participate in outreach opportunities that offer care and support through VPC by formally assisting our employees, their families, and the communities in which we live.

Our Purpose

The purpose of the Care Team is to help provide a Caring Company Culture. It is a committee that empowers employees to make decisions that create meaningful impact on company culture and community outreach. The goal is to significantly serve our staff and their families and community that are experiencing difficult circumstances.

VPC Builders Care Team

Here at VPC Builders, one of our core values is community. In an effort to better serve our community, VPC Builders developed our very own Care Team.

VPC Builders Care Team is made up of employees who are dedicated to serving our community. VPC Builders requires each employee to have a minimum of 16 hours volunteering for a non-profit or participating in a local organization annually. The care team offers multiple group opportunities throughout the year to fulfill these hours during work hours, where we can use our expertise to better our community.

2022 WAMY

VPC’s Care Team was afforded the opportunity to orchestrate and partner with WAMY Community Action through their housing and weatherization program. VPC worked with a local family to provide the home improvements and upgrades needed. WAMY is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to break the cycle of poverty by equipping families and communities in surrounding counties with the support and tools they need to become self-sufficient. Other services they provide are youth development, food and nutrition, and total family development. The home improvement items that the VPC team assisted with include replacing two sets of steps and railing, replacing a sliding glass door, installing two windows of trim and sills, and improving shower controls. We enjoyed helping a local family make their home safer and more energy-efficient! We also look forward to sponsoring their Denim & Diamonds Fundraiser in May.

2022 Feeding Avery Families

In the month of March, VPC partnered with Feeding Avery Families to do an internal drive to collect personal items for low-income residents in Avery County. This non-profit organization fights hunger in Avery County by providing food at no charge to those who need a helping hand. Personal items are Feeding Avery Families’ greatest need right now as these items are considered luxury items by their clients. VPC’s goal was fifty bags to donate to women, men, and children in Avery County.

Feeding Avery Families is an amazing organization and they do so much for our local community. Click here to see some of the impressive things they did last year! https://feedingaveryfamilies.org/2021-recap/
