National Service Blitz
Three "branches" of Habitat service joining forces to honor our veterans and impact Central Texans.
5/14/2023 - 5/19/2023
Our affiliate is thrilled to have hostined a week-long inaugural military-focused event in partnership with Habitat for Humanity International’s Habitat AmeriCorps program and Veterans Build Initiative! This effort brought over 200+ Habitat representatives and volunteers from affiliates across all 50 states to our Central Texas Community to make a lasting impact.
“National Service Blitz” will took place the week leading up to National Armed Forces Day as a celebration of national and military service and to bring attention to the issues of safe, affordable housing in the U.S. Roughly 150 AmeriCorps members and 100 Veterans Build volunteers served alongside veterans to collectively impact the local community’s housing needs.
