Community Involvement

Rebuilding Together
Rebuilding Together is the nation’s leading organization bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners by providing free repair services for those with the greatest need. Each year (since 2004), HBK Engineering has participated in the organization’s annual signature event, National Rebuilding Day. This event occurs on the last Saturday of April and is the culmination of many months of planning, evaluating, training, organizing, and assembling volunteers (HBK employees) to repair and restore a pre-selected house (often dilapidated or in much needed repair) of a low-income, disabled and elderly neighbor in their community. 

Merit School of Music

Its primary goals are to help young people achieve their full musical potential, to remove economic barriers to participation, and to stimulate personal and educational growth through music. Merit’s programs are provided without regard to national origin, race, religious belief, gender or physical handicap.
