It was two full weeks of solidarity among veterans and volunteers during Habitat for Humanity SKKC’s Veterans Build from November 6 through November 16.
A total of 170 volunteers joined multiple builds at our Miller’s Creek and Yarrow Cottages developments. Of those volunteers, we welcomed 21 veterans on site. A total of 1,090 volunteer hours were donated and, in the process, they moved both developments forward by leaps and bounds. Volunteer teams built walls, installed subflooring, and helped finish interior trim projects.
Veterans Build was sponsored in part by:
- MG2
- Amazon
- PRIME Electric
- Seahawks Interns
- Rosen Harbottle
- Slalom Consulting
Nearly 1.5 million veterans currently pay at least 50% of their income on housing each month, creating a financial strain that makes covering the basics of daily life challenging and puts creating long-term stability through building wealth completely out of reach. Habitat’s Veterans Day Build 2024 moved that stability needle forward for veterans in our region and gave volunteers an opportunity to honor their service in tangible ways.
