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:
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
