Colonial Bank has donated $1,000 to help the Lee Building Industry Association Builders Care program provide free home repairs to disadvantaged Lee County residents.

Bob Bassett, Colonial Bank’s area president for Lee and Collier counties, serves as president of the Builders Care board of directors.

Builders Care is the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association. Its objective is to provide emergency repairs and construction services to elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged people who are unable to obtain home repairs through traditional means.

Builders Care enlists the volunteer services of Lee BIA members and leverages grants and donated materials to provide construction and remodeling services to qualified homeowners throughout Lee County.

Builders Care is headquartered at the Lee BIA offices at 4210 Metro Parkway, Suite 100, Fort Myers. Donations can be made online at www.LeeBuildersCare.org or to the Builders Care general fund at any Colonial Bank. More information is available by calling 938-0056.
