Security Service Charitable Foundation Donates $2,500 to Repair Homes for Those in Need

SAN ANTONIO, TX – September 24, 2020 –– The Security Service Charitable Foundation is helping Golfers Fore Others repair homes for families in need by providing a $2,500 donation. The donation will help purchase tools and materials necessary for a variety of repairs.

Golfers Fore Others is a group of retired volunteers who repair homes for needy families, free of charge. Now, in its 19th year of service, the organization has completed more than 700 projects such as house painting, door repairs, faucet replacements, window replacements, bathroom renovations, wheelchair ramps, new flooring, tree trimming, and providing new appliances.

“Thanks to support from partners like the Security Service Charitable Foundation, Golfers Fore Others has touched the lives of more than 1,000 people,” said Fred Martin, founder of Golfers Fore Others. “The repairs we provide are necessary to maintain safety and quality of life for our neighbors, but it’s more than that. It’s a great way to come together as a community to care for one another.”

During Covid-19, Golfers Fore Others is working with limited crew sizes. Additionally, they are focusing on outdoor projects to provide safe options for volunteers.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, a great number of our neighbors have found themselves in a position where they are unable to make needed home repairs to increase their standard of living,” said Brandy Ralston-Lint, senior vice president of corporate communications for Security Service Federal Credit Union. “Golfers Fore Others assists these homeowners which allows them to remain in their homes.”
