We Help by Giving
Keck + Wood has a long history of giving back to the communities we serve. Just as our work strengthens infrastructure and improves daily life, our volunteer efforts aim to uplift the people and places we call home. This spirit of service lives in our culture and is supported through paid volunteer time and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the community.
From sponsoring youth athletic leagues and community parades, to volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House and Feed My Starving Children, we truly embody the values of community partnership. The organizations listed below are just a few of the places where we give back.
