Our mission is to aid our communities and other relief organizations through local partners and skilled labor resources.

About Us

Powdermill, NC

The Build for Good Foundation is the 501C (c)(3) arm of our family businesses. In the past we have used this foundation to rebuild homes for those in need. We are currently using 100% of the contributions for our Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western NC, Eastern TN and SW Virginia. Some of the most devastated areas are in hard to reach locations and getting little media coverage due to inaccessibility. We are reaching out to you for support. Our goal is to raise $2 million. As shocking as this number may sound, we have years of restoration ahead.

To send donations via ACH or contribute through you Donor Advised Fund, please email buildforgood@thespeckledtrout.com.

Build For Good in Action

Licensed General Contractors & MEP Subcontractors

Our teams are focused on powering up large generators for community centers and hubs that in turn provide food, shelter and relief for their region.

In the hard to reach areas of our community we have teams of licensed electricians installing generators to power well pumps, oxygen machines and refrigerators.

Tradesmen are working to provide temporary heat and repair sewer and septic systems.

Currently our focus is on temporary home repair, and in the coming months we will move towards restoring permanent homes in our region.

Heavy Equipment Operators

In the wake of Hurricane Helene most roads were covered in trees, mud and debris. We quickly mobilized to clear roads with skid steers, dump trucks, bulldozers and excavators; providing access for emergency crews and power companies.

Many residential bridges that provide access to whole communities were destroyed leaving residents without access to supplies. Our heavy equpment operators are reparing culverts to create community access.

Food & Supply Relief

Our non-profit organization provides essential relief supplies to communities in the High Country. We focus on delivering food, clean water, household goods, cleaning supplies, and hugs to families and whole communities facing challenging circumstances.

Through partnerships with local organizations, municipal leaders and volunteers, we identify areas of greatest need and work to distribute these critical resources efficiently and effectively.

We prioritize collaboration and community engagement to ensure that our efforts are responsive and impactful.
