Saunders Construction is known across Colorado not just for the buildings they create, but for the way they approach the work—prioritizing people, relationships, and long-term community wellbeing. As a Colorado-based, employee-owned construction company with more than 400 team members living and raising families across the state, Saunders brings a deep sense of responsibility to every project. Their belief is simple: if they are shaping a community’s physical landscape, they should also invest in the lives of the people who live there.
That philosophy is at the heart of their long-standing partnership with VOA Colorado. Saunders sees VOA as an organization that mirrors their own commitment to building stability, connection, and opportunity. The programs they support together—ranging from early childhood education to meals for homebound seniors to safe shelter and services for families—represent the human side of community building. For Saunders, that alignment makes the partnership not only meaningful but essential.
The value of this collaboration shows up in tangible ways across the state. Saunders has helped renovate and improve critical VOA facilities, including the Early Childhood Education Center, the Meals on Wheels building in Commerce City, the Downtown Denver headquarters, and most recently, the Mission. These projects don’t just upgrade buildings, they strengthen the infrastructure of care for thousands of Colorado residents.
Just as impactful is the personal involvement of Saunders employees. Team members deliver meals, volunteer with Adopt a Child, support Camp POSTCARD, and step into leadership roles on VOA boards and committees. Their engagement adds depth to a relationship that is far more than transactional. It’s a shared investment in creating environments, both physical and emotional, where people feel supported, seen, and equipped for a better future.
For Saunders, this partnership continues to offer perspective and purpose. And as VOA Colorado expands its holistic family services and strengthens its approach to long-term stability, Saunders is energized to continue building alongside them, combining their construction expertise with VOA’s human-centered work to help create healthier, stronger communities for years to come.
Saunders’ dedication to building stronger communities, both structurally and socially, demonstrates the power of partnership. VOA Colorado welcomes other organizations to stand with us in creating a more resilient Colorado for everyone.
