Community Support

Collaboration with the Bill Crabtree Foundation

On December 19th (2023), we had the privilege of partnering with the Bill Crabtree Foundation to assist a deserving family in need. Together, we provided them with a comprehensive market donation and essential items for their new apartment. Through the dedicated efforts of TEAM GIANT, we successfully mobilized these donations, ensuring that the family could experience a joyful Christmas and embark on the New Year with optimism and support.

Our Mission

Facilitating Donations

At GIANT, we are dedicated to making a difference, especially during significant occasions like Thanksgiving 2023. Driven by our unwavering commitment to fostering positive change, we partnered with the Bill Crabtree Foundation to mobilize 204 food bags. These donations were thoughtfully organized to support underserved communities in Raleigh, extending a much-needed helping hand during the holiday season.

Honoring Veterans

Gift Cards as a Token of Appreciation

At GIANT, we recognize the immense sacrifices made by our veterans in safeguarding our nation’s freedom. In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, we commemorated Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11th, 2023, by presenting grocery gift cards to veterans. This small token of appreciation serves as a meaningful acknowledgment of their dedicated service to our country.

Preparing the leaders of the future

GIANT joins the main companies of the Research Triangle!

Through the program: Corporate Work Study, successfully developed for more than 20 years by the Cristo Rey High School, Giant Development Inc becomes part of this great initiative by supporting two of its students with a one academic year scholarship that includes, for each one of them, the experience of working with us for five days a month. In this regard, our CEO, Tony Crabtree, mentioned the following: – Saray (Sophomore) and Greyban (Junior) will start on Tuesday, September 12 with us. They will be at GIANT as interns in order to gain professional experience in the real world while they are still in their academic training process, which will be extremely enriching for them as future professionals. For us, he assured, this represents a wonderful opportunity to shape future leaders with our knowledge of the world of construction and infrastructures. If you come to our offices and meet them personally, I would appreciate it if you treat them as part of TEAM GIANT. “Just as you would like your children to be treated.” Cristo Rey School is located nationwide through 35 locations and throughout their history they are currently collectively associated with 3,400 corporate partners and now GIANT is one of them.

Supporting Our Healthcare Workers During COVID-19

Giant Development Mask Donation Coronavirus

At Giant Development Inc. We are always there to help our community and we believe that we should contribute to the front line health staff who dedicate their time to saving lives in these difficult times. Therefore, we have distributed needed face masks for donation to hospitals and clinics battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our team has made a donation of 75 backpacks to children in need. Note in Pocket provides clothing and shoes to impoverished children throughout Wake County.

Empowering Youth

Our Contribution to YMCA of the Triangle

We’re proud to announce our recent contributions to the YMCA of the Triangle, aimed at supporting their mission of empowering children through vital programs like YMCA Academic Support and Summer Day Camps. We’re truly touched to have received a heartfelt thank-you from Jennifer McGee, further reinforcing our commitment to making a positive impact in our community.

Support of the Taiwo Foundation

Our team has made donations to the Taiwo Foundation to support their mission to help children in need on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent. We received this thank you from Debra Taiwo, president of the Foundation, for our support: “I am grateful for your generous donation in support of Taiwo Foundation in fighting Domestic Violence, Teenage Pregnancy and Child Abuse in the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent. Giant Development Inc. donations over the years are helping to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged young girls and boys in this Caribbean Island.”

Support of Lady Lightning Softball Team

The Lady Lightning’s manager Chris “Turtle” Wilson thanked us: “I am so appreciative for everything Giant Development INC has done for Lady Lightning. Their generous donations made it possible to jump-start our local softball team. With the help of Giant Development, Lady Lightning was able to hire the best coaches possible and buy all the best equipment. Their CEO Tony Crabtree went above what was asked of him, I couldn’t imagine having a better sponsor for Lady Lightning. Thank you Giant Development!”

Charity Work for St. Michael the Archangel Church

Our team cleared land to add a proper paved road next to the second rectory and conference center of the church’s campus as a part of our charity work. Monsignor Douglas P. Peed said: “The driveway work that you did last summer for our 2nd rectory has been a Godsend! And the road next to the Conference Center has not only made our ball fields more accessible, especially for our seniors, but you’ve cleaned up a tremendous eyesore as well. Rather than speechless, I am simply more grateful than I can possibly express! I really appreciate all you are doing!”

Getting the Job Done Right for a Goldsboro Family

In November of 2017, Goldsboro grandmother Lisa Mooring hired a local concrete business owner, to convert her gravel driveway to a concrete slab to help her grandson Arian get around more easily. Arian has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and has difficulty walking and riding his adaptive bicycle on unstable gravel and is at a higher risk of injury. Due to the high cost of the work, Lisa applied for a grant through local MD charity, 4 Jake’s Sake who paid the contractor $2,000 to do the work, who said it would be done in a few days. One year later, Lisa still had the same gravel driveway. The contractor took the money, then never showed up to do the work.

Stepping in to Lend a Hand

Lisa, and several other people who had hired the same small business owner and had a similar story, reached out to ABC11 about what had happened. In the mean time, the negligent contractor was convicted in Nash County for failing to do work on a different job he was paid for. We heard Lisa’s story and knew we could help. We believe that we are meant to make a difference in our community and help our neighbors so we got a team together and headed to Goldsboro with our equipment and materials. The Giant Development crew was able to provide everything free of charge and got the work done in just one day! Now, Arian can walk across the driveway safely, without danger of falling, and he can even ride his bike! We were glad to meet this wonderful family and are happy we could lend our services to make a difference! To meet Lisa and Arian and hear their story, watch the ABC11 story here.
