Home Sweet Home at the Ujima House

Oct. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Primera Renovation Provides the Girls With a Sense of Pride
Tempe, AZ. September, 2011-FIBCO Family Services, Inc. has been running the Ujima House, a residential program assisting pregnant and parenting teen mothers, for 15 years without proper upgrades to the facility. They were in desperate need of assistance with a much needed renovation project. Primera was honored to step in and donate a great portion of the material, professional time, and labor to ensure the property received a quality upgrade.

T.J. Wheeler, CEO of Primera Interiors said, “At Primera, we believe in giving back to the community. The Ujima House had a specific need to bring their home interior to life and we were able to step up and help get the project completed.”

Primera was able to provide granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, as well as Wiley Brown Birch cabinets and vanities. New carpet was installed the main hallway and in all the bedrooms while vinyl flooring was laid in most of the common areas. Site supervision, demolition, materials, and installation were also contributed by Primera, a full service supplier.

From large partnerships to individual employees volunteering, the entire Primera team is dedicated to serving the community. They take stewardship very seriously and want to help others thrive by giving back and sharing success. In the recent past, Primera and its principles have contributed well over $1 million to numerous charitable foundations including Fuel the Mission, Helping Hurting People, Child Fund, and Children International.

FIBCO Family Services, Inc. has provided community services within Maricopa County for 25 years through onsite services and community collaborations. The mission of the organization is to create self sufficiency amongst families while serving as a catalyst to community organizations. The Ujima House, in particular, serves at-risk girls in the Phoenix area by providing specialized individual service plans and life skill programs that foster the success of each young adult.

"This support from Primera establishes a standard of living which plays a critical role in establishing respectable acceptable behavior,” says Lakesha Givens, Program Director for FIBCO Family Services, Inc. “The upgrades that Primera has completed on the facility have proven to have had an impact on our young ladies as they transition from the Ujima House to their own homes. Primera has been very resourceful, professional, and expeditious during this whole process and on behalf the young girls and children at the Ujima House, we would like to say ‘thank you’."
