Lee BIA Builders Care, the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association, recently partnered with the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral for a landscaping and outdoor maintenance project to benefit a local Cape Coral family.

Twenty-four volunteers from the Chamber’s 2024 Leadership Cape Coral class, as well as the City of Cape Coral Code Enforcement Office’s Tammy Whitaker and members of Builders Care, gathered to complete work on Yolonda Arroyo’s home. The team of volunteers pulled weeds, mowed the lawn, created a low-maintenance garden area, pressure washed the exterior of the home and driveway and installed a new mailbox.

Since 2005, Builders Care has helped nearly 500 individuals and families by providing A/C repairs, wheelchair ramps, roof replacements, remodeling projects and other critical repairs that allow deserving elderly and/or disabled homeowners and their families, to live safely and comfortably in their own homes. Projects are made possible through donors and community partners who provide labor and materials to bring a project into reality.
