Shook Continues its Focus on Community Support

At Shook Construction, community service is one of the basic pillars of our organization. Our company and its individual employees donate their time, attention, and money to better the communities in which we work–not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it is a fundamental component of our business strategy.

Rebuilding Together Cleveland
Earlier this summer, a team of Shook personnel spent their Saturday working with Rebuilding Together Cleveland (RTC). The RTC mission is to preserve and revitalize the homes in Cleveland’s low-income neighborhoods. Focusing primarily on the elderly and homes with small children, RTC believes that everyone should be able to live in a home that provides safety, warmth and independence. Shook’s team led a group of more than 50 volunteers in the renovation and overall facelift of an existing home on Cleveland’s west side.
