Laying Foundations for a Strong Community

The Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) is an advocate for its members, providing them with valuable business and industry-related services. Yet, the BASF is also an advocate for the greater South Florida community, providing its expertise, time and donations to serve our community. Here are some of BASF's community service projects:

Comcast Cares Day

Capstone Sponsor Comcast holds an annual day of service each year, where more than 10,000 employees, family and friends come out to serve their local communities nationwide.

BASF is a proud sponsor of our local Comcast Cares Day, serving a different project and South Florida neighborhood each year. In the past, BASF has provided landscape beautification, interior and exterior painting activities, recreational area construction, furniture move-in and assembly and general facility enhancement services both in man hours and large generous donations to locations in need such as the:

His House Children's Home

BASF is a proud sponsor of His House Children's Home - an organization committed to providing residential care for abused, neglected and drug exposed children in a campus home-like setting, while restoring their emotional and physical well being in a loving and nurturing environment.

His House is actually the only federally-appointed location in Miami-Dade to receive and care for refugee children of the Haitian earthquake, taking more than 400 Haitian orphans, in addition to Miami-Dade's foster and orphan children received on a general basis.

Since BASF's partnership with His House earlier this year, it has made several monetary donations contributing to the renovation of the facility.

On September 11, 2010, BASF members participated in a full day of service - contributing their building skills for renovating a cottage. To see photos from this year's event, visit our photo gallery.

Habitat for Humanity

A natural fit for BASF's community service programs,Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami is an ecumenical Christian ministry which builds homes in partnership with low-income families in need of a decent place to live. Miami Habitat was formed in 1989 and is in the top ten of over 2,000 Habitat affiliates nationwide.

To date, the BASF has actually helped complete homes in partnership with the Miami Habitat Chapter, by donating materials, expertise and labor for various community projects.
