Taking Care of Family, Clients & Community for Three Decades

Builders Care to host building product blow-out event Jan. 16

Lee BIA Builders Care, the nonprofit arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA), will host its fifth annual building product garage sale to raise funds to help local homeowners in need. The sale will take place Jan. 16 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Cape Coral Plumbing, located at 5812 Enterprise Parkway in the Billy Creek Commerce Center off Luckett Rd., just west of I-75. Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested per adult. Beverages and snacks will be available.

Offering Southwest Florida remodelers the opportunity to commence home or office renovations at a modest price, local suppliers and building industry-related companies are providing great deals on all kinds of items including appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, kitchen cabinets and paint. All proceeds will benefit Builders Care and help provide emergency construction services to elderly and disabled Lee County homeowners in need.

“This is a remodeler’s dream sale,” said Christi Pritchett Sarlo, executive director of Builders Care. “This is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of great deals that will ultimately help a local neighbor in need.  We have tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of materials for pennies on the dollar.”

Builders Care is the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA). Its objective is to provide emergency repairs and construction services to elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged people who are unable to obtain home repairs through traditional means. To date, Lee BIA Builders Care has put more than $3.7 Million in construction services back into the community at no cost to homeowners in need.  Builders Care enlists the volunteer services of Lee BIA members and leverages grants and donated materials to provide construction and remodeling services to qualified homeowners throughout Lee County. Major supporters include Cape Coral Plumbing, Ferguson Enterprises, Nilles Design Group, Priority Marketing of Southwest Florida, Stock Development, Sunset Air and The Aubuchon Team of Companies.
