Corporate Social Responsibility

At Sprung, we recognize that our operations have a broader social, environmental and economic impact. Our business approach is built on sustainable and responsible growth, and our programs reflect this commitment.

Helping the Community in Times of Urgent Need

From emergency shelters and medical facilities to temporary schools and membranes used for roof repair, our team has brought Sprung technology and expertise to areas around the world affected by crisis and devastation.
Sprung has been donating structures to a variety of humanitarian efforts since 1980, working closely with partners such as AmeriCares, MSF (Doctors Without Borders), Homes of Hope and Samaritan’s Purse. We have also been an important source of supply for the Salvation Army and the Red Cross in their disaster recovery efforts.
In addition, Sprung continues to supply various cities with homeless navigation centers, which serve as a vital bridge between life on the streets and an affordable housing.

Examples of Sprung’s commitment to corporate social responsibility through the years

West Island College, Alberta - Greenhouse

Sprung donated a natural-light greenhouse to West Island College for its newly established Garden Club. Installed in July 2022, the structure is a place where students can learn about growing food locally and sustainability.

“While academics is at the forefront, we want students to pursue their passions and explore opportunities to tap into their potential,” says Erlynn Gococo, director of admissions at the school, which was voted the Gold Winner in the Private School category of the 2022-23 Calgary Readers’ Choice Awards. “Whether it be academic, athletic, fine arts or whatever passion — we want them to be able to pursue that.”

In 2021, we provided much-needed tarps to Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to use in their Homes of Hope home-building program in Mexico.

“I wanted to thank you for donating all the tarps to YWAM SDB. I’m out in a poor [area of] Colonia, building a Home of Hope. Right next door is a very needy family that now has a great roof with your tarps, (until it’s their turn to get a Home of Hope). Thank you for your generosity!”

Sprung has worked with cities across North America to build homeless navigation centers, bridge structures and respite centers. In 2019, we approached staff at the Toronto Respite Center and asked what they could use to help their guests.

2018

Samaritans Purse, Barbuda – Hurricane relief structure

October 31, 2018

Good evening,

I wanted to thank you for your generosity in donating the Sprung Structure to Samaritans Purse for their relief effort in Barbuda. The structure is invaluable for safely storing materials and equipment for Barbuda.

My wife Leigh and I and our two daughters Savannah and Rebeccah have just returned from serving with Samaritans Purse in Barbuda for two weeks. We installed roofs on homes that have been without roofs for over one year after Hurricane Irma.
We witnessed first-hand the impact that this relief effort had on the families that we served. Our daughter Savannah and her team installed a roof for a family of five. They have lived in a home with a leaky tarp for covering for over a year. The father lost his two-year old son in the hurricane, the only fatality of the hurricane. The five were sleeping in one bed in an undivided, single-room home. Not only did they get a brand-new roof, but the team also installed walls to divide up the home and give them some privacy and dignity.

My wife and I and our team installed a roof for a 74-year-old woman, her daughter and granddaughters who all lived in leaky tents in their backyard for over a year until we showed up. Within four days they had a brand-new roof!

I have attached photos of the Sprung and the 74-year-old’s home before and after, and a photo of the family being congratulated once the home was repaired.

Once again thank you for your generosity. Your donation allowed these people to regain their dignity and gave them hope for the future.
