HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, SPRING 2017

Today was all about group work as HOLA went to help out with Habitat for Humanity, an amazing nonprofit that helps brings affordable houses to families who need it. We had a blast helping construct new houses, prepare already built houses, clean up, and organize at the Wilmington site and warehouse. It’s amazing to see what you can do when you come together as a community!

The houses in the process of being built.
Busy hammering the day away…
Look at those smiles!
