Community Involvement
Marv Schuette and Wausau Homes have always been a strong supporter of programs that not only benefit youth but improve housing in general. His ability to see a need and devise a solution through innovative measures contributed greatly to a variety of areas, such as the United Way, the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, the Habitat for Humanity, the Mead Wildlife Center, Northcentral Technical College, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin, Boy Scouts of America, and Girl Scouts of the USA.
- Habitat For Humanity - Commencing with the 2004-2005 school year, Wausau Homes, Habitat for Humanity of Wausau, and three local high schools (Mosinee, Wausau East and D.C. Everest High Schools) formed a partnership which has benefited all parties. Wausau Homes has the opportunity to provide significant input into the construction trades; Habitat has access to three homes and the involvement of youthful construction workers; the high schools have a level of support that they have not had before and through their building construction programs would each construct a modular home at their sites during the school year.
- Boy Scouts / Girl Scouts of America & Meade Wildlife Center - Marv and Ruth Schuette built and donated both the Boy Scout / Girl Scout Center and the Meade Wild Life Center on behalf of the employees and builders of Wausau Homes.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.”
—Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)
