When local businesses lean in to help a nonprofit, you know they genuinely care about everyone in the community. Pantea Umrysz of East Coast Pro Painting, Bob Sampson of RJS Financial Group, and David Preka of Advanced Construction go above and beyond for Always Home.

Pantea and Bob are Always Home Board members, with Bob serving as the Board Treasurer. Both are deeply dedicated to advancing our mission. David has graciously contributed his time and resources to repair and roof our two-family properties. Recently, he helped us convert a downstairs room into a space dedicated to household essentials for our client families. So, as you can see, these Caring Heart sponsors truly care!
