WE HBA hosted its first WE CARE volunteer event in early February, where members gathered for a shared day of service with GBF Community Services. Volunteers supported the organization’s food bank and community store, helping meet the needs of local residents. The event reflected the spirit behind WE CARE by bringing people together around a common purpose while strengthening ties within the Grimsby community. 

During the holiday season, WE HBA hosted its annual Toy Drive and Social, where attendees generously brought new, unwrapped toys in support of children in need across our community. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our members, a significant number of toys were collected and donated to City Kidz, a local non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children living in the inner city.

In 2025, the West End Home Builders’ Association contributed $7,500 to the capital campaign for Keaton’s House Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice. WE HBA is working with members and community leaders across the Greater Hamilton area to help enhance support for children in palliative care and their families.

During the Holiday Season, the WE HBA hosts its annual Toy Drive and Social, where those in attendance bring a new, unwrapped toy for needy children in our community. The new toys are donated to City Kidz, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children living in the inner city.

In 2022, we made major steps towards supporting the YWCA in Hamilton and donated $10,000 to help support the build fund of the Putman Family YWCA, Hamilton’s first affordable permanent housing residence for single and mother-led families.

For ten years, the WE HBA had awarded a bursary to a deserving Mohawk College student. The funds were aimed at assisting outstanding graduates of the Construction and Renovation Technician programs in launching their own construction or renovation company. WE HBA also partnered with the Mohawk College Foundation to create a $50,000 endowment fund to support students enrolled in skilled trades programs at the College.

The WE HBA Annual Golf Tournament is one of our most popular member events, bringing together more than 200 members each year for a day of networking and friendly competition.

In past years, the tournament also raised funds for the Presidential Charity of Choice, supporting organizations such as Good Shepherd, Mohawk College, and others. The association and its U40 group have also previously contributed to student bursaries through the Building Construction/Renovator program at Mohawk College.
