Volunteers from the Marshall community were able to hammer nails into boards to begin with the infrastructure of the new home. Taylor Burke, vice president of the Marshall chapter of Habitat for Humanity, said events like this helps to promote their chapter. “We’re really trying to grow our chapter,” Burke said. “It would be good because the restore does a lot of great work and we have so many volunteers here at Marshall, so if we can be of source for their volunteers, I think that would be really great.” Volunteers were able to add a personal touch by signing a “bless- ing board,” with words of encouragement for the future homeowners. David Michael, executive director of Huntington’s Habitat for Hu- manity chapter, said these events are good for bringing younger volunteers in. “It’s really nice to have a group of young energetic college stu- dents to come out and get involved,” Michael said. “It gives them a little bit of an opportunity to hammer nails into inanimate objects and kind of destress.” The home will be built on 59 29th Street in Huntington’s Highlawn community.
