This week we want to send a special shoutout to our longtime supporter, PCL Construction. PCL Construction’s Rick Goldman, Senior Vice President for the Florida Buildings Group, shared more about why contractor continues to partner with Habitat Orlando & Osceola.

We so appreciate that PCL has chosen to work with Habitat and support our mission. What about Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s own mission resonated with PCL?

Habitat’s mission to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home strongly aligns with PCL Construction’s commitment to building the communities where we live and work. When individuals and families have a place to call home, communities are able to thrive. We are inspired by Habitat’s collaborative approach that brings together volunteers, partners, and future homeowners to create a lasting impact. Supporting Habitat allows us to invest in families, neighborhoods, and a stronger community overall.

What is PCL’s mission when it comes to philanthropy? How does working with Habitat Orlando & Osceola help further that mission?   

At PCL Construction, we are committed to strengthening communities and creating opportunities that make a lasting difference. We invest our time, talent, and resources in organizations that help individuals and families thrive.

Habitat for Humanity’s mission to bring people together to build homes, community, and hope closely aligns with those values. Through our partnership with Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County, we are helping build more than homes. We are supporting stability, opportunity, and a stronger future for families and the communities they call home.

Together, we are focused on creating impact that extends beyond a single project and contributes to meaningful, long term change.

We’ve love hosting volunteers from our corporate community. What benefits do you hope your team will experience working on a Habitat home?  

This experience gives our team a renewed sense of purpose and perspective. Participating in a home build allows our employees to step out of the office or off the jobsite, come together in a meaningful, hands-on way, and give back to those who need it most.

It also gives our team the opportunity to see firsthand how their time, skills, and commitment help strengthen communities and create lasting change for families.

What would you say to other organizations that are considering donating, volunteering, or partnering with Habitat Orlando & Osceola?  

Partnering with local organizations like Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County has been an important part of what we do. We’re extremely proud of our more than 20-year relationship with Habitat and believe partnerships like this make a meaningful difference.

We invite organizations to get involved in whatever way they can. Partnering with Habitat Orlando & Osceola is not only impactful for the community, but also incredibly rewarding for your team.
