It's Your Business: Developer Minto supporting Lee Builders Care

Builder and developer Minto Communities is pledging to support Builders Care through each home sale.

Builders Care is the nonprofit arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA). The program provides emergency repairs and construction services to elderly, disabled and poor people who are unable to obtain home repairs through traditional means.

Minto Communities is donating $100 from each home sale through its Bonita Isles community to Builders Care, providing money to assist the organization in helping local homeowners in need of renovations. In addition, Minto Communities said it is donating its services and resources to complete a large residential renovation project for a qualifying homeowner in Lee County in 2014.

We believe in helping our community and we believe in the mission of Builders Care. We are looking forward to helping out through our industry, said William Bullock, vice president of Minto Communities-Florida, in a statement.

Minto Communities support speaks volumes to the commitment they have to our community, said Wendi Carroll, president of Lee BIA Builders Care. We are fortunate to have them to help local homeowners in Lee County.

Donations can be made online at http://www.LeeBuildersCare.org.
