Homes for Our Troops

We installed a free garage door and opener for SSgt Omar Milan and Homes for Our Troops. Being part of his story and journey is a huge blessing.

From https://www.hfotusa.org/building-homes/veterans/milan/:

During his third tour on Jan. 9, 2012, Marine Staff Sergeant Omar Milan, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist, was conducting post-blast analysis in support of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines in the Nawa District of Afghanistan when he was in an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion. The blast resulted in the loss of SSgt Milan’s right leg, significant injuries to his left leg, loss of fingers on his left hand, and damage to his right arm, among other injuries.

After enduring 40 surgeries and physical therapy for two years, Omar was medically retired in 2014. He now lives with his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters in Texas and says a home adapted to his injuries will help him and his family tremendously.

Omar is thankful to everyone who will contribute to his build project. “My family and I are forever grateful for everything and every single person who makes this possible.”

International Door Association Humanitarian Award

The International Door Association recognized Plano Overhead Garage Door at their annual meeting. The IDA is recognized as the leading industry organization for garage doors in North America. Nick and Nathan McGregor were recognized for their efforts during Hurricane Harvey, and Plano Overhead was commended for ongoing charitable donations, community involvement, and humanitarian efforts!

Habitat for Humanity

We have done many projects for Habitat for Humanity over the years in several cities. We love our community and do our part to give back whenever possible! The picture above is a project we performed many years ago in Dallas. The mission statement of Habitat for Humanity is “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.” Homes are built using volunteer labor and materials like ours at Plano Overhead Garage Door.

North Texas Food Bank

There is plenty of need right here in our backyard. Children and seniors are particularly in need in our communities, and it doesn’t take much to make a huge impact! Plano Overhead has contributed to the North Texas Food Bank and surrounding food pantries for several decades!

Our owners spent time in Houston helping rescue Houston evacuees and distributing supplies. They spent several days in the 40 inches of torrential rain, helping restore normalcy.

2016 Rowlett Tornado

Button

The leading magazine in our industry, ‘The International Door & Operator Industry’ by the International Door Association, published our story about the disaster relief and charitable work we performed following the Rowlett tornado.

Playground Contribution

Button

Founder’s Park (Behind Wylie High School). Many years ago, we provided labor and financial support for constructing Founder’s Park in Wylie. Imagine how many little feet have run across this playground!

Supertech Day

We have received national recognition for our International Supertech Day celebrations over the years. We appreciate how hard our Certified Service Professionals work, and this gives us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their efforts every year! We have had some pretty awesome times! Dunk tanks, caricature artists, guest speakers, catering, cornhole tournaments, nerf gun battles, bowling, laser tag, and much more to come!
