Volunteer to build a house and a dream - MCC Blue River

For the past several months, MCC-Blue River staff and community members have generously donated their Saturdays to help a Blue River colleague build her brand new Habitat for Humanity home in Independence.

As you might imagine, the work is far from over, but they are closer than ever! The family needed only 18 more volunteer hours when this article was orinally posted. However, the family now hows reach their goal of volunteer hours. They are optimistic that February or March will be the actual move-in day.

Last week, the group hung drywall, but more work is yet to be done.

The group worked Saturday, Dec. 11 at the residence site located at 19204 E. Salisbury in Independence, Mo.

The work progressedwell and MCC participation has played a big role in propelling this family a bit closer to their dream.
