This Saturday, April 25th, had one of the most motivated volunteer groups (representing both Habitat Young Professionals and Hands on Charlotte), allowing us to finish the roof sheathing almost 4 hours before the assigned deadline – sincerest thanks to all who came, and I hope to see you at the next event! Home ownership is one of the most essential aspects of a successful and enduring community and volunteers just like you help make working families realize this dream – great job!

All photos will be posted on PledgeForMoms.org on Sunday evening after the event. Please check back or subscribe to the RSS feed for fast notification and cool site updates. Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte transforms lives by partnering with families and local communities to create and preserve affordable home ownership solutions. All help is welcome!
