2016 - Another Eventful Year for BIA Cares!
|
2016 was an active year for BIA Cares
(formerly HBA Cares, as of Nov. ’16),
the 501(c)3 Charitable foundation of The Building Industry Association of Central Kentucky. While no major home building project was undertaken, BIA Cares found several ways to live up to its Mission to, “build a better future through active participation in community service projects that support and promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of Kentucky families.”
The beginning of 2016 saw the completion and dedication of the 2015 BIA Cares Home for a Veteran. During the course of the year, several home accessibility projects were undertaken by BIA Cares Board members, including a major home renovation for an Elementary School Teacher in Wilmore, KY who lost both her hands and feet after complications from a medical procedure. Her home is now much more accessible and her overall ease of living there has been greatly improved. A scope of work is currently under development for several new projects of a similar nature.
BIA Cares donated both money and labor to “The Hill: Playground Project” in the Woodhill community in Lexington, in partnership with The Joy Foundation. Where there was once a run down and mostly vacant area for children to play, there is a now an area of safe and playful activity for children to use with new playground equipment and structures, including a soccer field.
Since 2012, BIA Cares, in partnership with the general BIA Central KY membership, has annually participated in collecting donations for “Operation Military Cheer,” the Kentucky National Guard’s toy drive for military families in Kentucky who are both local and deployed. The toy drive helps to meet the needs of military families who may not have resources to provide a Christmas for their families. On Friday, December 9th, members of the KY National Guard came to the BIA Office to receive more than $15,000 in toy, clothing, and gift card donations that they, in turn, distributed to the military families before Christmas. “Operation Military Cheer” continues to grow each year and is definitely a benchmark of BIA Cares’ dedication to its Mission Statement! In addition to “Operation Military Cheer,” BIA Cares annually collects and donates canned coffee to the Lexington Rescue Mission, a local homeless shelter and outreach center, before Christmas. Coffee is often an unknown need at homeless shelters and BIA Cares annually donates roughly over 100 cans of coffee to help meet the Rescue Mission’s need.
As 2017 is now underway, BIA Cares is planning this year’s “BIA Cares Home for a Veteran,” in which a qualified Veteran in the Central Kentucky community will receive a new home with a greatly reduced mortgage responsibility. This is made possible by the donated and/or highly discounted labor and materials provide by BIA Central KY Members and their suppliers. Be on the look out for more exciting news on the “BIA Cares Home for a Veteran” project coming soon!
