Heroes "high five"

HANDY BROS. HEROES- LOOK BACK!

Two years ago, the team at Handy Bros. started a wave that we never could have imagined would be this large, contagious, rewarding, and uniting in the community of Chatham-Kent. Over the past two years we have met and connected with tons of amazing members of the community looking to help out those in need, partnered with multiple businesses, charities and organizations… and today … we are going to look back on some of our favourite memories and hear from some HEROES! Our mission with Handy Bros. Heroes has always been to inspire others, create a positive movement, and to be a light in this world that can seem pretty dark sometimes. We want to use our profits for something greater, and if we can help those who need it most in even the smallest way, our mission will be complete. Each month we discover a local need, whether it be an organization, an individual, or a cause, and we do whatever it takes to meet that need. We are truly so grateful for the opportunities to give back, the new relationships, and memories made because of Handy Bros. Heroes. I personally am so glad I work at a company that puts giving back on their list of priorities. Looking forward to many more projects in the years to come!”

Handy Bros Team Cleaning Park

KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY CLEAN!

Although the city of Chatham-Kent does an incredible job keeping up with our parks and trails, there are always areas that get missed or fill up with trash quickly... They just need that extra TLC! The Handy Bros. Heroes rallied together on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to get our hands dirty and do our part in keeping our community clean! We had such a great crew out, all ready to put in some hands on work, and have loads of fun/laughs along the way! Stay tuned for next month's Heroes Project!

WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS SUFFERED FROM ALZHEIMER’S!

The majority of our team agreed that they have either known, or known of someone who has suffered from Alzheimer’s/Dementia.

We have witnessed or experienced the heart-breaking changes & challenges this diagnosis presents to the loved one and their family.

As a team we collected donations from all of us Bros. We are more than happy the funds are going to this well deserving cause.

The White Family in particular will forever remember their late mother/grandmother who was diagnosed in her last couple years with them.

She moved in with the White Family of 6 kids, when she started to lose her memory and it became unsafe for her to live alone.

CEO, Mitch cherishes these years as he helped care for his grandmother, he will never forget the bond they developed over the years she was living with them.

Mitch's mom, Esther White thanks the Alzheimer’s Society tremendously for all their help with her Mom during this time and especially appreciated their “Day Away” program with her busy schedule.

Year round, The Alzheimer’s Society does so much to aid in the caregiver and the individual’s home life. Annually, they organize a fundraiser walk.

This year’s “IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s” was held last Saturday, May 29th, raising funds for urgently needed services to help people with dementia and the family members who care for them.

See the link below for more details and how you can help today. https://support.alzheimer.ca/site/SPa... A huge thank you from the entire Handy Bros.

Family to Alzheimer’s Society Chatham Kent for all you do for our community!

Ps. Stick around until the very end to see an adorable dug up keep sake from Mitch’s Mom!

BUILDING A HOME FOR FREE!

Habitat For Humanity Project Pt. 1
The Handy Bros. Heroes have teamed up with Habitat for Humanity Chatham Kent as well as multiple other contractors/donors/volunteers involved in the latest Habitat for Humanity Home!

The Handy Bros. Heroes will be donating the entire HVAC and Gas Line system needed for this home. FREE OF CHARGE. A special thanks to our suppliers for their considerable donations to this cause.

Habitat homes are built by volunteers and donors and sold to qualified families.

Habitat holds the mortgage, charges no interest and amortizes the mortgage for as many years as necessary to ensure families pay no more than 30% of their income for mortgage and taxes.

​Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent does not provide free homes. The families who partner with us invest directly into their homes equity and commit 500 volunteer hours to our organization. Families purchase their home at fair market value with no down payment and pay an affordable mortgage. Families who partner with Habitat for Humanity CK, understand that a home is a long-term commitment and investment.

We are so looking forward to seeing how this project comes together. It is our pleasure to lend a helping hand to this amazing organization.


Stay tuned to see how this project unfolds! You won’t want to miss it.

SUPPORTING NEW PARENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY!

Another month in the books, that means The Handy Bros. Heroes took on another project!
This month’s initiative, we had an organization nominated to us. When we heard about the work @refuge_chatham was doing, we were more than happy to help out.


At Handy Bros. we are all about FAMILY. We know the challenges and obstacles an individual or couple who are about to become parents face. This can be a challenging new journey for those who have the means to support their family, let alone those who need a little extra help.


Refuge offers free comprehensive pregnancy support to women and families. They help with meeting the needs of baby supplies and clothing, as well as counselling and support throughout the entire pregnancy and early postpartum stage.


Thank you Refuge for all you do in our community!

NO CHILD WITHOUT A LUNCH PROGRAM!

When a student is running on an empty stomach, their minds are not fueled properly... They can't learn to their full potential. No child should have to worry about where their next snack is coming from. St. Ursula's Elementary School here in Chatham are doing it right! The staff have been working incredibly hard to make sure nutritious snack options are always readily available for ALL students. Ending the stigma that only a certain group of students need access to these programs. We couldn't have been more eager to hop on board with this project and have the Handy Bros. Heroes do what they do best, give back to our community! We loved working with the staff and students at St. Ursula's! Looking forward to hearing how they enjoyed the snacks from our contributions as the year goes on!

HEROES Outside of Local Women's Shelter

SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL WOMEN’S SHELTER!

The HandyBros Heroes are at it again! Today was something special. Today was all about our women in Chatham-Kent. Being a business run by women, The Nurse Next Door was all over the opportunity of giving back in this way!

2020 has been an especially tough year for women in abusive situations. They have been isolated, and having to deal with more abuse the ever. That’s why it is so important to have the Chatham-Kent Women’s Shelter, assisting those enduring tough times and working alongside them to remove them or support them through these awful circumstances. Being unable to run certain programs or receive the donations they need; we knew we had to do something for this great organization!

Thank you so much to The Nurse Next Door for teaming up with us and for another exciting day of giving in CK!

DELIVERING FOOD TO THOSE IN NEED!

Today, for our 5th Day of Giving, the HandyBros Heroes are highlighting the good that’s already being done here in our community!

Being made up of a majority of older individuals, the Knights of Columbus have been isolated and unable to give back to the community in the ways that they normally would. Although they have many active organized charity programs, Families to Families is the program we focused on today. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the Knights go out and deliver food to families in need; it’s an excellent initiative. We think its important to shine a light on those serving and giving back, any way they can.

It was inspiring to see such generosity and kindness live in action. Well done Knights of Columbus and Chatham Breakfast House! Thank you for demonstrating what it means to live CK!
