Deck For a Vet!
It was just a thought in 2021, to build a free deck project for a US Veteran. That idea led to 3 projects being built in 2022, and 6 in 2023! Montell Construction’s greatest achievement and lifetime honor rest here in our very own Deck for a Vet initiative.
Community Involvement
Montell Construction Believes in Supporting Local Businesses, Local People & Local Charities
At Montell Construction, our goal is to support the local businesses, people, and charities that help make our community such a beautiful place to live. Our company was founded right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and our aim is to do as much as possible to give back to the community that we serve. No matter if you’re an existing customer with us, or you’re simply looking for a chance to get more involved in local philanthropy, we invite you to join us in any of the work we do to help support our community.
American Cancer Society – Building Hope Together!
In 2021 we partnered with the American Cancer Society to help with the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We hope to help build a future where our children no longer live with the threat of breast cancer and where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive this disease. By supporting the Making Strides movement, we hope to help ensure the American Cancer Society can continue fighting for that same vision. Together, we can help fund the future of breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today – and for the next generation. Visit mistrides.org to get involved!
American Diabetes Association
It’s important to us here at Montell Construction to stay involved in the fight against diseases and illnesses that affect our neighbors. That’s why we work closely with the American Diabetes Foundation to support those who struggle with diabetes while also helping to educate the community on preventive measures against this disease. By raising money for this cause throughout the year and participating in events such as the Walk to Stop Diabetes initiative, we continually do what we can to support this helpful association. In fact, for our commitment to fighting this disease, one of our co-owners was recently recognized as a Father of the Year by the American Diabetes Foundation. This is an honor that Montell Construction shares with the community and sees as an opportunity to raise more awareness for the prevention and fight against diabetes.

Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America
In addition to the American Diabetes Foundation, Montell Construction also supports the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization that is dedicated to finding a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. This foundation works toward improving the quality of life for children and adults affected by these digestive diseases, and we proudly support their work.
Military Appreciation
Montell is a proud supporter of “Homes for Our Troops” of West Michigan with the mission to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.
Make-A-Wish of Michigan
We at Montell Construction were happy to help the Greenridge Dream Team Foundation with their annual golf outing to support children and their families dealing with serious illnesses in the West Michigan area. Through the continued generosity of their agents, employees and partners, the Dream Team Foundation has raised over one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Michigan and have granted the wishes of more than 150 local children living with serious illnesses. The 2021 golf outing alone raised enough money to grant 4 wishes!
Toys for Tots
Montell Construction is proud to support Toys for Tots every Christmas season! Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.
Kids Food Basket
Not only does Montell Construction strive to help those affected by illnesses and diseases, but we also support local food banks. Each year, we volunteer our time and raise money to support the Feeding America West Michigan Food Bank, as well as the God’s Kitchen meal programs. We also send food directly to people in need through our local Mobile Pantry program. And, to help prevent childhood hunger in our community, Montell Construction works with the Kids’ Food Basket to provide sack suppers to over 6,000 children to ensure that lunch is not their last meal of the day. Volunteering time for these causes is a great way to see the direct impact you can make in the life of someone in need.
Supporting our local community is not something we do once or twice a year, but rather is an objective we’ve incorporated into our business model and do each and every day. From working with local manufacturers and suppliers, to constantly looking for opportunities to give back to our neighbors, Montell Construction is dedicated to continuing to make Grand Rapids, MI, and the surrounding communities a fantastic place to live. If you are looking for ways you can give back to our community and would like to join our team, please contact us today.
