Kent companies give back

Bellevue’s Kindering gets facelift from local home builders, volunteers, and the Master Builders Association

Kent companies Barghausen Consulting Engineers and Washington Electric recently joined volunteers and other businesses in sprucing up a home for disabled, medically fragile and at risk children.

Volunteers spent a day painting therapy rooms, offices and hallways and doing light maintenance at Kindering’s center in Bellevue. The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish counties led the effort.

Painting a Better Tomorrow is a two-day event that brings together individuals and teams of friends, coworkers and family volunteers to benefit a social service organization in the King and Snohomish county area.

Kindering is one of the largest and most comprehensive therapy programs in the Northwest for children. It is a second home for families embarking on the unexpected journey of raising a child with special needs. Kindering serves 4,000 children of diverse abilities and their families each year.

Founded in 1909, the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties (MBA) has grown to become one of the largest residential home builders associations in the United States.
