Welcome to my Habitat

Every year Habitat for Humanity builds homes for people in need. The program calls to action anyone from any background who believes that everyone should have decent housing. In the Saint Augustine, Florida community such a program is working hard for the community, and every home in the picture above was built by volunteers of Habitat for Humanity. 
On Dec.3,2014 in St. Augustine, Florida a group of volunteers for Habitat for Humanity got together and got to work on a new home; some of these volunteers were Pete Royal and Bob Buzza.
The volunteers for Habitat for Humanity worked on cutting and placing paneling for the outside of the house.

The project is a lot of hard work and requires a lot of tools. Luckily, Habitat supervisors carry all the equipment and every home has a tool shed in the back.

The inside of the house so far. Some companies, like Whirlpool, donate to Habitat for Humanity making it possible for the homes to come with new washer and dryers and other items.
Its up to volunteers to make these buildings possible.
Volunteer today, help your community, and bring a family home.
