Helping Neighbors

I am pleased to introduce our monthly Community Outreach Program.  I spent years in the Corporate world running local enterprises that were part of billion dollar Fortune 350 organizations – and they had no connection to the local community.  It always felt so strange to not be in the Chamber of Commerce or local groups – not connected to the local community.  Heading up Peak Nine gives me the freedom to change that!

A big part of why I love doing what I do is because I get to help people. Lots of times we help improve their comfort, but sometimes we find folks who need help with their basic quality of life.  We know that there are plenty of people who just don’t have the financial or physical ability to do some things.  and they need a hand. In that spirit, Peak Nine is dedicating a few hours every month to help someone in need.

Each month, Peak Nine will donate one home repair project to a person in need.  If you know of someone who is having extreme financial constraints, a limiting disability or other struggles and needs a thing or two taken care of around their house, please contact us!   We have had discussion with our subcontractors, and they are open to joining us in this mission.  Give a little to get a lot of satisfaction, and also become connected with the pulse of the community. 

Based on your nominations, we will select a project for the following month at the end of the current month.  It can be hanging curtain rods, fixing the door that won’t latch, checking out the electric outlet or switch, taking a look at the leaky drain, stopping the toilet from running – anything needed around the house.  Or all of those things and more – this is many times the case once folks start falling behind in their ability to maintain their home.

The project just needs to be located in Johnson or Wyandotte County, KS or Jackson County, MO. Obviously we want these projects to help people who are truly in need and who don’t otherwise see a way to get things done.

Here is a link to Habitat For Humanity’s website  (Habitat ) They are a great organization for connecting with the local building community to help folks in need.  Whatever your source of information is, its important for you to identify people who need a hand up!  Thanks for being a part of this effort.  

Thanks to everyone for your business and support, and thanks for nominating someone who can use a little help to make their life a little more comfortable!  We have found that a lot of the recipients are motivated to come back afterwards and Pay It Forward.  What a powerful concept – give out of love because you received out of love!

We donate materials to our local Habitat Restore here in Overland Park.  If you have doors, windows or any item that they accept, please consider donating as an alternative to throwing items in the trash.

Thanks again for your support.
