Our Story

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.

With unwavering support and financial assistance from Allgire General Contractors, the Allgire Foundation works tirelessly to shine a spotlight on issues that impact residents of affordable housing. The Allgire Foundation holds large food drives, provides community care packages and move in kits to residents of affordable housing, and awards scholarships to people impacted by affordable housing to help create new opportunities for the future.
