Caring Neighbors…Building Our Community Together!

Our Members share a common goal of creating desirable communities and fulfilling the American Dream of home ownership. They understand creating safe and attractive neighborhoods and commercial buildings does not end with providing quality construction. They know that the best communities are filled with people who work together to improve the quality of life for all residents. That is why so many BANCF members are active in community work, from providing housing to low-income residents, educational opportunities and scholarships to students, to working with government in an effort to keep housing affordable for all. Our members are committed to our community.

BANCF Community Projects:

BANCF has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to develop and built the Celebration Oaks neighborhood. Our members worked behind the scenes for several years, donating their time and professional expertise in planning, developing, and engineering to bring this project to the point it is now…building homes for Habitat families!

For 2006, plans are underway to build a Habitat Home utilizing the wide variety of members in our Association which include bankers, attorneys, engineers, restaurant owners, real estate professionals, architects and more. They will be shedding their normal working environments and build a Habitat Home. Stay tuned!

BANCF members have joined forces to help build a new facility for the Reichert House program. Members have pledged to supply materials, labor, and supervision to work towards the completion of the new 5,000 sq. ft building. After opening its doors in 1987, the Reichert House became an organization committed to the enhancement of mind, character and values of boys ages 12-18. It continues to provide an academic and social teaching environment geared toward promoting the minds and talents of young people. This very successful program is also a youth intervention and prevention program. This is a wonderful program for our community and the construction of this new facility will make a significant contribution to East Gainesville. To help, call The Reichert House, Tony Jones, (352) 334-2441.

BANCF members volunteer in the classrooms throughout Alachua County. They speak to classes, participate in career days, and mentor students interested in a building career. The builders association also provides scholarships at University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College for students in building construction. To contribute, contact BANCF.

As you can see BANCF members work, live and volunteer their time in our community. If you are interested in becoming part of our association family, contact BANCF.
