			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">As we do every year, Metcalf West  recently collected holiday gifts for the local foster children.  We work with  Catholic Charities Hawaii to bring a smile to these children’s faces at holiday  time.  We want to thank our employees, suppliers and subcontractors for coming  through in a big way this year.  We were able to deliver a truck full of toys  and gifts to the kids.  Mahalo!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Metcalf West is working to provide  a youth center and rest rooms for the Living Stones Church on Ali’i Drive in  Kona.  This will be a much needed addition to this wonderful  church.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Metcalf constructed the Waikoloa  Baptist Mission and Parsonage in Waikoloa, Hawaii in 2006, at no cost to the  Mission.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">When we were asked by a local  developer to lend a hand, we and our subcontractors came through to build  the  One-Stop Homeless Shelter in Kona, a place for the homeless to get much needed  services.  This entire building was donated at no cost to the  county.</p>
