3. When action combines with compassion, lives change

“If our hopes of building a better and safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the engagement of volunteers more than ever.”

Kofi Annan

At CRASH, we are very fortunate to have construction professionals who volunteer their time and expertise, as well as companies who donate their construction products, to help homelessness charities and hospices with vital building projects. We could not do the work we do without your dedication to making a difference.
