Recently, the Calder Capital team partnered with Home Repair Services of Kent County (HRS) and Huntington Bank to build a wheelchair ramp for a local Grand Rapids homeowner.

Home Repair Services of Kent County is a non-profit organization based near Calder Capital’s headquarters in Grand Rapids. Its mission is to strengthen vulnerable Kent County homeowners, as strong homeowners build strong communities. HRS fulfills this mission by providing discounted repair and construction services, educational workshops, and accessibility solutions for residents in need.
Volunteers from Calder Capital and Huntington Bank came together to construct a ramp for a local homeowner facing mobility challenges. In particular, thank you to Melissa Somero, Scott Nicholson, Nick Browning, Parker Schaap, and Mallory Pohl from the team for representing Calder. Shoutout to our partners at Huntington for their partnership on this project: Matt Orazem, John Burmeister, and Daaron Fleeger.
The ramp now provides this neighbor with safer access to their home, reducing barriers to independence and improving their overall quality of life.Â
We’re proud to have contributed hands-on work alongside HRS and Huntington Bank to make a direct impact in our community.
Thank you to Drew Sikkema and the entire Home Repair Services team for their leadership and for giving us the opportunity to lend a hand.
