The Purpose Behind Wrapped In RED

The foundation was born from a desire to make a greater impact on communities while addressing the evolving needs of the painting and construction industries. As Harrison Contracting has grown, so has its understanding of the critical role that veterans and young professionals play in its success.

Veterans often face unique challenges in transitioning back to civilian life, and Wrapped In RED is poised to offer assistance in this area. Whether in the form of financial grants or special projects for veterans. Wrapped In RED aims to provide additional support where needed most.

At the same time, the foundation is intently focused on nurturing the next generation of skilled professionals. Recognizing the growing need for expertise in the construction and painting industries, Wrapped In RED seeks to offer aid to young people pursuing careers in these fields. By supporting education and vocational training, the organization is laying the groundwork for a strong, resilient future workforce.
