The James family found their home damaged beyond repair after the Riverside Fire raged through their neighborhood last year. The rebuild began this fall with the help of the MI Foundation’s gift, support from the Clackamas County Long Term Recovery Group (CCLTRG), and windows supplied by Milgard Windows & Doors customer L&M Glass.

“I’m privileged to be part of a caring community,” said Milgard Corporate Service Manager Pat Olsen, who is also the Chairman of the CCLTRG. “Through the recovery group, our dealer partners and the MI Foundation, we’ve been able to do a lot of good.”

Grassroots giving efforts that help to support the local community in times of need is what the MI Charitable Foundation is all about. Milgard team members are encouraged to participate and engage in fundraising and volunteer events that they are passionate about.

Fortunately, Pat Olsen is dedicated to helping people in his community get back on their feet and navigate the systems and processes necessary on the road to rebuilding their homes.
