Give Kids the World Village is a 79-acre, nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides week-long, cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. We are proud to be involved on an ongoing basis with Give Kids the World and look forward to continuing to support this noble cause.
MKC was chosen as a contractor for the “Give Kids the World Extreme Makeover” event. MKC and its team spent two weeks refurbishing and retrofitting the guest villas. Led by MKC’s management team, a 56-person crew, which at one point grew to 80, worked 18-hour shifts to complete the 12 “Phase 4” villas in Fairytale Forest.

MKC makes a concerted effort to employ and contract veterans. Our primary subcontractor in the Caribbean is a service-disabled veteran-owned business. We are also involved in charities such as Wounded Warriors and Headstrong.

MKC is proud to be the renovation contractor of choice for Osceo7a Enterprises. Osceo7a Enterprises specializes in various services for Native American communities across the United States as well as resorts and gaming facilities on Native American lands. Their goal is to provide quality work in the areas mentioned above and to use the proceeds from those projects to focus on charitable giving in three key Native American focus areas: health, education, and culture.
