At ɫèapp, our dedication to creating meaningful connections with our communities shines through the Kirk Bobo Creating Impact (KBCI) Grant and Outreach Initiative. This program, named in honor of our co-founder, combines financial support, design expertise, and employee volunteerism to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Following the success of our Memphis team’s efforts at Windridge Park, the spotlight shifted to our Dallas office, where the team embodied the spirit of the KBCI initiative by partnering with to preserve a cherished home and uplift a homeowner in need.
Revitalizing a Home, Uplifting a Life
On Tuesday, November 19, the ɫèapp Dallas team joined forces with Hearts and Hammers, a nonprofit organization that provides essential exterior home repairs for low-income homeowners, including senior citizens, disabled individuals, and veterans.
During this impactful volunteer day, the Dallas team worked diligently to assist a 93-year-old homeowner, ensuring they could continue living independently in the home they love. The team’s efforts included:
- Trimming and painting to give the home a fresh, vibrant exterior,
- Staining the front door to create a polished and inviting look,
- Repairing gutters for improved drainage and long-term protection, and
- Completing minor but crucial repairs that enhance safety and functionality.
This heartfelt work reflects ɫèapp’s core mission of enhancing lives and building stronger communities.
The Mission of Hearts and Hammers
For over 30 years, Hearts and Hammers has been a beacon of hope in the Dallas community, helping homeowners address structural and aesthetic issues that can compromise their ability to remain in their homes. By tackling these repairs, the organization creates stability and security for vulnerable individuals, often providing them with the support needed to avoid relocation.
Our partnership with Hearts and Hammers exemplifies the powerful impact that collaborative volunteerism can have—not only for the recipient but for the neighborhood as a whole.
Building Team Spirit and Connection
Beyond the physical improvements made to the home, this volunteer day fostered meaningful connections—both with the homeowner and within our team. As the Dallas colleagues worked side by side, they strengthened bonds and reinforced their shared commitment to giving back. The day was a testament to how teamwork and compassion can drive impactful change.
Looking Ahead: San Diego on Deck
With Memphis and Dallas having successfully completed their KBCI Volunteer Days, the focus now turns to ɫèapp’s San Diego office. Next up, our San Diego team will collaborate with Fred Finch Youth & Family Services to create inspiring spaces for at-risk youth and families.
Stay tuned for the final installment of our three-part series, where we’ll celebrate the efforts of our San Diego colleagues and continue the KBCI legacy of service and transformation.
Thank you to our Dallas team for exemplifying the heart of ɫèapp and for bringing our mission to life through meaningful action! Together, we’re creating lasting change—one community at a time.
