In The Community
   


Summerfield practices its mission of being “The Responsible Builder Without Compromise” by giving back to the community.

 
 

                                                                                Habitat for Humanity

Summerfield is the contractor of record for West Tuality Habitat for Humanity’s two-unit town home being built in Forest Grove for two families in need of decent, affordable housing. As the contractor of record for the town home, Summerfield acts as HfH’s liaison with subcontractors. Summerfield has contacted subcontractors that the builder works with to see if they would be willing to help with the project. Thus far, Summerfield has been a catalyst for helping HfH receive a generous $10,000 grant from 84 Lumber that will go toward building one of the two units. Lumberman’s has kindly matched that grant for the other unit. Additionally, other subcontractors have made donations or committed to making donations. For example, Francisco Campuzano of Tusa Excavation helped with the land excavation, and CM & Sons Roofing has committed to doing the roof. Besides securing subcontractor support, which wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of the companies willing to help, Summerfield also schedules the job sequencing for the project. In addition to this project, Summerfield has been an ongoing supporter of HfH through material and monetary donations as well as by offering building expertise. In 2006, Summerfield raised money for HfH at the First Annual Festival of Charity Lights event that the builder hosted at its Forest Grove subdivision, Oak Hill Settlement

 
 



                                                   Forest Grove High School Viking House Program

Forest Grove High School has a program in which students learn practical construction skills by helping to build a home in the community that is then sold. These skills enable the students to have valuable experience when they enter the job market. At the conclusion of the school year, one exceptional student who completes the program will receive a scholarship from Summerfield for continuing his or her education. In addition to the scholarship, Summerfield has opened its contractor database to encourage Forest Grove High School students to potentially find employment with one of our vendors.


                                                                             Fundraising Events

Summerfield hosts the Festival of Charity Lights event in order to raise funding for several local nonprofit organizations. Additionally, the builder sponsors fundraisers hosted by other groups benefiting worthy causes. These events include The Main Course and Forest Grove Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament both benefiting the chamber. Summerfield also sponsors the Kirk Spencer 5K Fun Run/Walk to raise money for Automated External Defibrillators to be placed in public facilities as a way to fight Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
