Jamail & Smith Construction lends a hand to Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry

This holiday season, Jamail & Smith Construction supported the Fort Bend community by teaming with their neighboring subcontractors and vendors to support a local charity, East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry (EFBHNM). Jamail & Smith Construction leveraged these relationships to raise $5,100 and matched the contribution to help EFBHNM fund their efforts to alleviate hunger and help families in need. Jamail & Smith Construction has been providing Job Order Contracting services to Fort Bend ISD for the last three years.

As members of the Fort Bend community, the Jamail & Smith Construction team wanted to give back to the community and was excited about the overwhelming response and generosity from their vendor and subcontractor associates ­ including: American Mechanical Services of Houston, Automated Logic - United Environmental Services, Rice & Gardner Consultants, Inc., Vector Concepts Inc.,The Hunton Group, Data Display Audio Visual Co. LP, Hightower Electric, All Texas Electrical Contractors, Game Court Services, and Gregory Edwards.

Connie Esposito, Community Outreach Coordinator for EFBHNM, commented, We are so grateful for the generosity and support of Jamail & Smith Construction and all the subcontractors and vendors who contributed to this incredible donation. This has been a tough year for many in our community.

"The $10,200.00 donation was presented to Esposito at Jamail & Smith Construction’s Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Fry at their Fort Bend Office located in Missouri City. This yearly event gives Jamail & Smith Construction a chance to thank their employees, subcontractors and vendors for a job well-done throughout the year. “While so many families are feeling the need for a little support in these economic times, it was not only our pleasure to help but a responsibility we should all have for the community in which we work and live,” said Brent Doucette, Senior Project Manager for Jamail & Smith Construction.

"We are seeing 25% more families coming to us for help while our donations have been down", said Esposito. "This gift from Jamail & Smith Construction couldn’t have come at a better time for East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry. We will be able to use the funds to keep food on the table for our neighbors in need and help those who are facing eviction from losing their home."
