Building to bring veterans home
On November 10, Habitat Wake celebrated the veterans in our community with our 2023 Veterans Build! Thanks to the Clayton High School Navy JROTC for presenting the colors at our kickoff ceremony. We appreciate Credit Suisse, MetLife, Builders Mutual and Eaton for their support and time spent volunteering.

This build allowed veterans to come together with a veteran homebuyer as we built and raised the walls for a home at our Old Poole Place community. Happy Veterans Day, and thank you to all our brave veterans for your service.
