Recently, the Calder Capital team joined Home Repair Services of Kent County for RampFest #20, volunteering to help a vulnerable Grand Rapids homeowner gain safer, more accessible entry into her home.
The Home Repair Services project brought the team to Grand Rapids’ northwest side, where they worked on a home originally built in 1938. The homeowner had been relying on a single section of metal ramp to enter and exit her home. With a steep incline and no protective railings, the existing ramp presented a challenge for her to safely access her home.

In just one day, Calder’s volunteers helped build a ramp that now provides the homeowner with a safer way to move in and out of her home. Our team was happy to spend a day volunteering, in order to make a long-term difference for a neighbor in need.

Thank you to the Calder Capital team members who contributed their time and energy to the project: Melissa Somero, Jon Pastoor, Hannelore Jones, Emma Westerhouse, Parker Schaap, Olivia Devereux, Nicholas Browning, and Matthew Baas.

This project was in partnership with Home Repair Services. Previously, Calder Capital has joined Home Repair Services for deck repair, deck construction, and wheelchair ramp projects for local homeowners in need. We’re proud to work alongside an organization that creates practical, lasting improvements for our Grand Rapids neighbors, helping them live safer and more secure in their communities.

We extend our gratitude to the entire Home Repair Services team for coordinating this project and giving us another opportunity to lend a hand!
