Community Works is proud to share that Mary’s Haven—Southern Oregon’s first transitional housing facility for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking—has received the prestigious AGC in the Community Award from the Associated General Contractors of America. Presented at the AGC Annual Convention in Columbus, Ohio, this national honor recognizes the remarkable generosity and unity of the Rogue Valley’s construction community. Sparked by Travis Snyder of Precision Electric and supported by nearly 60 local contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors, Mary’s Haven was built to provide a secure, healing home for adults and children escaping violence. This award celebrates not only a building, but a powerful testament to hope, resilience, and community collaboration.

For the third consecutive year, Community Works has been recognized by Oregon Business magazine as one of the “100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon.” This award reflects the voices of our dedicated staff and volunteers through anonymous surveys, highlighting exceptional workplace culture, benefits, and job satisfaction. We know that our ability to serve survivors begins with supporting our team—providing competitive wages, growth opportunities, and a mission-driven environment where every role directly impacts lives. Being named among the top nonprofits in the state is both an honor and a reflection of the commitment, compassion, and professionalism that our staff bring to the work of empowering survivors and strengthening our community every day.
