Faith Technologies is participating in the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition build in tornado-ravaged town of Joplin, Mo. Crews will build seven homes in seven days as part of the show’s effort to help the members of the community get back on their feet.

General contractor Millstone Custom Homes approached Brian Davis, Faith Technologies’ branch service manager in Springfield, Mo., to provide the electrical services for one of the seven homes. Crews from Faith Technologies are performing electrical services on the Walters’ family home.

"We’re thrilled to be part of this inspiring project," said Davis. "The people of Joplin have been put through so much devastation, and the Walters family is no exception. It’s great to see members of the community, local businesses and the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team ban together to help build Joplin back up, and Faith Technologies is proud to be part of those efforts."

This marks the second time Faith Technologies has teamed up with an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project. In 2010, crews from the Faith Technologies Menasha, Wis., branch performed electrical work at a Neenah, Wis. home. In order to help provide for the Joplin Big Build, the Home Builders Association Charitable Foundation has established the "Community Build Fund." To donate to the fund, click here.
