Caring Together is Better

BUILD Team

Updated: Nov 1, 2023


Caring for our People, Customers, Community, and Environment has long been in our company’s DNA. Wendell and Norma Reed were supporters of several charities/non-profits in Modesto and made community service a life-long commitment. As our company has grown, so has the scope, size, and footprint of our involvement in community service.


The BUILD team has been instrumental in making it even easier for employees to volunteer and donate by organizing events like last month’s La Loma Park Cleanup. Events like this and the Great Sierra River Cleanup also reflect on how over the years, our Caring Principle has expanded to keeping our communities environmentally healthy.

A touching example of “Caring for People” was the tribute to Tom Piz at this year’s Heart and Stroke Walk. It was a bittersweet recognition that Tom was instrumental in developing our partnership with the American Heart Association. Tom was looking down on the walkers and seeing how this has come back full circle to him in honor.


We joined the AHA Hard Hats with Heart with others in our industry to expand our well-being programs to reach more employees, especially those working in the field. After our successful Step-It-Up Challenge, we would love to hear from you on ideas to reach more people with fun and creative ways to incorporate movement in our jobs. Please reach out to Carol Hall in HR or email BUILD with your ideas.

We have an even greater impact when we team up together across all Reed Family Companies. As the recent lead sponsor for the first ever Modesto Touch-A-Truck we provided equipment from George Reed Inc, 7-11 Materials, VSS International, and Reed International. We should all be proud to be a part of this amazing event, as together we created a memorable day for so many happy children and provided them with a glimpse of the work we do to create and maintain critical infrastructure in our communities.

In addition to the power of teaming up as one voice across our companies, RFC also multiplies our caring by teaming up with others in Industry such as the recent Cal Cima Women in Construction Tour of the George Reed and 7-11 Materials plants at Table Mountain Quarry. Women are under-represented in the Construction Industry and just like our partnership with Hard Hats with Heart, we see that we accomplish our goals better by working together. Many of our customers, subcontractor and suppliers are civic-minded and appreciate it when we take a lead to organize a project like the

Clements School Community Center parking lot. Our care and inclusion of customers at George Reed, Inc 2nd annual golf tournament in honor of CT Tutthill increases donations to the scholarship fund which comes back full circle to his family.


Whether we are working together across the Reed Family Companies or teaming up with Civic Minded customer and industry partners, it is clear that “CARING TOGETHER IS BETTER”.
