In true builder fashion, more than 30 employees of the McCarthy Building Companies Texas Division and their families donated time on Friday, Aug. 7 to renovate and beautify the Mi Escuelita Preschool St. Matthews campus. Volunteers worked on the interior and exterior of the campus through projects such as staining, painting, landscaping, wood repair and building new playhouses for the students. Mi Escuelita Preschool provides early childhood education to low income at-risk children in the Dallas area, with one of the primary focuses of teaching children the English language. The preschool serves children ages two to five years old at five locations throughout Dallas.

McCarthy's "Heart Hats" community involvement program is dedicated to encouraging, supporting and recognizing McCarthy employees' volunteer efforts in a variety of causes to ensure real needs are being met in communities where employees work, live and play. This company-wide volunteer program allows McCarthy employees across the country to take at least one (paid) full-day off from work annually to utilize their building skills and other talents to aid local non-profit organizations in need.
