Crossland Cares: A Year of Community Impact and Giving Back
At Crossland, building is what we do, but community is why we do it.
What we build is only part of the story. What it makes possible is what matters most. Strong schools. Safer communities. Thriving downtowns. Places for families to gather. Moments that remind people they are not alone.
That belief goes back to the foundation our company was built on: faith, family, grit, and responsibility. Our founder did not just build projects. He built relationships. He believed in doing things the right way, taking care of people, and stepping up when your community needs you.
That is what Crossland Cares is all about.
As we reflect on the past year, we are proud of the many ways our employees showed up in the office, in the field, and across the communities we call home.
Why Community and Giving Back Matter to Crossland
Crossland was built on the belief that success means more when it is shared.
Our roots are in the towns and cities where we work. Places where neighbors still notice when you lend a hand, where schools and local nonprofits are held together by volunteer hours, and where showing up matters.
Community involvement is not something we do for attention. It is something we do because it is part of who we are.
We believe:
- Hard work should leave a positive mark
- Strong communities build strong companies
- Giving back is not extra. It is essential
- We do not just build projects. We build trust and relationships
Crossland Cares is one of the ways we live out those values in a real way.
A Year of Community Efforts: Crossland Cares Highlights
This past year, Crossland employees across divisions and regions supported a wide variety of causes, from education and youth programs to public safety, hunger relief, disability inclusion, and family support.
Here are a few of the ways we made an impact together.
Supporting Local Causes Through Year-Round Giving
Through initiatives like Casual Fridays, employees donated consistently to organizations making a difference close to home. These efforts supported foster care resources, adaptive opportunities, youth-focused nonprofits, women’s health causes, and community support organizations.
Food Security & Community Care
Several teams supported food pantry needs and food bank efforts, including a Tulsa volunteer event where employees packed 2,420 pounds of food. That provided the equivalent of approximately 1,200 meals for families.
Helping Families in Practical Ways
Our teams stepped in with hands-on support, including donating time and materials to build a ramp for a family in need and replacing a damaged door soon after. It is a reminder that sometimes the biggest impact comes from meeting an immediate need with care and action.
Creating Joy and Support for Kids
Through holiday giving and partnerships with community and mentorship organizations, Crossland teams helped families feel supported and remembered during meaningful seasons.
Partnering with Schools & Student Programs
Many divisions showed up for students and educators through teacher appreciation efforts, student Signing Day events, school promotions, booster sponsorships, and community school activities.
Crossland Culture Events that Give Back
From tournaments and cook-offs to community picnics and fundraising events, employees built relationships internally while supporting causes externally. Events like Crossland Country Limits a tradition we started this past year to raise money for a local cause.
Showing Up with Equipment, Expertise & Encouragement
Sometimes giving back looks like service. Sometimes it looks like inspiration. From Touch-a-Truck events to Make-A-Wish moments, Crossland teams encouraged kids who see construction as something exciting and possible.
The list is long because when you have a company full of people who care, community impact becomes a year-round habit, not a one-time effort.
Looking Ahead: 2026 Community-Driven Initiatives
As we move into 2026, Crossland Cares is focused on deepening our community investment, not just by doing more, but by doing it with intention and follow-through.
Our focus areas include:
1. Supporting Underserved Communities Through Infrastructure and Practical Needs
We plan to increase support for initiatives that improve day-to-day life, especially in rural or underserved communities. This may include:
- Accessibility improvements such as ramps, repairs, and safety upgrades
- Facility improvements for nonprofits or youth programs
- Partnering with municipalities or local groups on community-forward projects
2. Scholarships, Internships, and Apprenticeship Pathways
The construction industry is full of opportunity, and we want to help more young people access it.
In 2026, we will continue building momentum around:
- High school intern programs
- Workforce development and skills training
- Trade education initiatives
- Student mentorship connections
3. Environmental and Conservation Partnerships
We believe in leaving communities better than we found them, including the land and resources around us.
We will look for opportunities to support:
- Conservation and cleanup events
- Park, trail, and outdoor improvements
- Community beautification projects
- Sustainable partnerships aligned with our values
4. Strengthening Local Partnerships
The greatest impact often comes through consistent relationships. We plan to expand collaboration with:
- Schools and school districts
- Local nonprofits
- Chambers and city organizations
- Youth mentorship groups
- Public safety and community programs
