CLARKSVILLE, TN – A dozen Clarksville veterans and active-duty soldiers recently stepped up to help build ramps for two new Habitat for Humanity homeowners.
This was the first Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County project under a new initiative called Veterans Build, which seeks to engage service members and veterans in projects to increase affordable housing opportunities in the Clarksville area.
“Veterans and those on active duty are among our most dedicated volunteers and they’re always looking for ways to serve the community,” said Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County Executive Director Rob Selkow. “Projects like this will help Habitat better organize around these volunteers and hopefully increase our capacity to build for fellow veterans, who are in need of decent, affordable housing.”
Through Veterans Build, Habitat is looking to partner with more organizations and volunteers who share that desire to serve local veterans and their families.
