Community Involvement

Lee Wetherington Homes owes our success in large measure to the communities in which we do business. From the earliest days of our existence, we have made it a practice to give back. Whether it be with disadvantaged youth through The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County or to State Parks like Oscar Scherer in Venice, we have a strong social conscience that starts with our founder and extends through our entire company.
