Volunteers, Ideas Needed for “We Build It Forward”

RP Johnson and Son brings community together to help.

Press release

In honor of RP Johnson and Son’s 112-year anniversary, the company is again sponsoring a community-wide event of public building, repairing, and community service-related projects on Saturday, June 15, in the towns surrounding its Andover and Sunapee locations. Community members can sign up for the event and choose a project during the company’s Saturday, May 18, Customer Appreciation Event, or online at WeBuildItForward.com. It is also possible to create an event and register it as a part of the celebration.

On Saturday, June 15, teams of people will head out into the community to take on their We Build It Forward projects. The projects may take the shape of yard clean-ups, weatherizing a house, small renovation projects, or painting. The total list of ideas will be posted on the Web site as it continues to grow.

For more information about RP Johnson and Son or this event, call 735-2116. To sign up for We Build It Forward projects, visit WeBuildItForward.com.

The Big Questions

Do you know any group, person, or organization that is in need and has a wish for some help?

What projects can we do for our community?

What can we all accomplish in one day of helping others?

Who needs help in town? Help us make a list. Does someone need a handicap ramp? What about a small roof repair? Could a senior home use a fundraiser? We’re calling on leaders and community members to join us in this mission.

Can you volunteer and recruit others to as well?

Project Criteria

1. It must be something they can’t do for themselves.

2. It has to be something that really helps people.

3. We all help do the projects together as a way to appreciate those who have helped us before.

We are currently contacting business owners, families, and friends so they can become sponsors and volunteers for this exciting one-day event. As the event comes closer, we will assign roles and tasks to all who volunteer, and it is all based on how each person wants to help.

Community Service is Important

RP Johnson is on a mission to raise awareness of how everyone can serve each other and serve our communities with our “We Build it Forward” outreach event. It’s time for radical gratitude and commitment to service!
