Surf Ranch Trip 2024

The Allgire Surf Ranch Trip, which started as a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring affordable housing industry professionals together to collaborate and bond, is now an annual adventure and 2024 was the best trip yet! Thanks to everyone who joined us and we’re already planning the trip for 2025!

Home, Heart, and Helping Hands: Volunteer Day at the Shores at North Beach

40+ volunteers answered the Allgire Foundation’s call to action to put the finishing touches on Wakeland Housing & Development’s latest affordable housing community, the Shores at North Beach, in Ocean Beach. Volunteers took time out of their busy schedules to build and stain gates and fences, paint exterior brick, assemble patio furniture, stock pantries with food, outfit apartments with move in kits, and so much more. Thanks everyone for all you do!

2024: A Year Filled With Grand Openings

In 2024 alone, the Allgire Foundation provided over 700 move in kits to 11 new affordable housing communities! 100+ volunteers helped make a difference in so many people’s lives. We look forward to exceeding those totals in 2025 and beyond!

Our Story

Allgire General Contractors has been building affordable housing for more than 36 years, doing its best to remain a strong, positive force in the community. With the retirement of founders Rick and Mary Ann Allgire in 2020, the company’s passionate team created the Allgire Foundation to give back to the affordable housing communities where they live, build and play.

Featured Grand Openings

We’ve been able to provide over 1,200 residents in 20 new affordable housing communities with important and often-overlooked essentials through our Grand Opening Move In Kit program. With Allgire General Contractors’ funding and resources, our move in kits have become more robust than ever before and provide a helping hand as residents of affordable housing move into their new homes.

Spring Harvest 2024

The Allgire Foundation’s third annual Spring Harvest 2024 Event is a wrap! The simple goal of Spring Harvest is to raise awareness of food insecurities that residents of affordable housing face and to highlight how difficult and expensive it is to eat healthy foods. With 200+ incredible volunteers working tirelessly to package up more than 16,000 packages of apples, oranges, lemons, bell peppers, potatoes, and onions, the Allgire Foundation shattered the last two years’ totals…and we did it in less than 3 hours! Thank you to Allgire General Contractors for their steadfast support (and GENEROUS funding) and thank you to affordable housing developers, architects, engineers, trade partners, and community members for their donations of money and time! We did it and we’re already planning for next year!

Surf Ranch Trip 2024

The Allgire Foundation wouldn’t exist without the thoughtful and passionate community of developers, architects, engineers, trade partners, and service providers who have dedicated their lives to helping vulnerable populations by creating incredible affordable housing communities in San Diego and beyond. To bond and spur critical and creative thinking about how we all can do more to help others, Allgire General Contractors brings these inspiring people together in a unique and motivating environment at the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch. The outcome is transformative! We can’t wait until 2025’s trip!
