"It takes a very big heart to help us would-be homeowners. I will do everything I can to live up to this responsibility,” she said. Skilled NFCA and Habitat volunteers will lead two daily shifts of fraternal volunteers, who will work side by side with the families to construct the two homes. The project is part of the NFCA’s effort to support the work of Habitat. That support has drawn praise from many.
