ANSWER

A handful of hard working Bear Construction Company volunteers spent Saturday, October 1 renovating a home on Chicago’s south side. Bear worked with Healthy Families America, an organization committed to making a difference in the lives of children and families by connecting volunteers with those in need. This Inaugural volunteer day was 100% organized, funded and staffed by Bear with electrical assistance from REX Electric & Technologies, LLC.
