Heart of Iowa Habitat for Humanity celebrated the ground breaking for a new home in Boone on June 7th. The foundation has been dug and poured, the walls are rising, and the roof trusses are ready to be put in place, but there is still more to be done.

In the coming weeks our local Knights of Columbus councils of St. Malachy and Sacred Heart will be hosting two workdays in conjunction with the project. Everyone is invited to participate in the workday regardless of affiliation with the Knights or our two Catholic parishes. The dates for the workdays are: Saturday August 22nd and Saturday August 29th. Saint Malachy is organizing the first day and Sacred Heart the second. 

If you are interested in helping out please use this Signup Genius link to signup for a day and hour that works for your schedule. You can sign up for both days for the entire day, or just a part of it. Anything you can do is appreciated. Everyone is asked to wear a mask and bring a pair of work gloves.

If you would like to see pictures of the project home being constructed you can see them here on the Habitat for Humanity Facebook page.
