Community

Wolverine helps Install Art Prize Nessie ProjectWolverine Building Group believes that community involvement is vital in facilitating the growth of our local community, which we have vowed to do in our pledge. We also feel that such outreach is important not only to the development of the surrounding community, but to the enhancement of the individuals we employ.

Each year, Wolverine Building Group sponsors several community teams and events, provides monetary donations, and encourages our employees to actively get involved in non-profit organizations, charitable programs and other service projects.

Lions Club Cleaning Station"Central American Vision Mission"
Wolverine Building Group is pleased to participate with the Grand Rapids Lions Club “Central American Vision Mission.” Each year, Lions collect used eyeglasses throughout the area. The glasses are cleaned, sorted by prescription, and cataloged. Lions then travel to Central America to prescribe glasses for the disadvantaged in various countries. Each year Lions dispense between 3,000-4,000 pairs of glasses to restore good sight to many in need.
