Our 15th annual WE Build event marked a milestone in community service and veteran support, bringing together more volunteers than ever before to transform six future veteran homes from construction projects into welcoming sanctuaries. The energy was palpable as teams worked tirelessly across multiple projects, creating not just houses, but true homes for those who have served our country.
A Day of Unprecedented Participation
This year’s WE Build saw record-breaking community involvement, with volunteers from all walks of life joining forces to support our veteran families. The massive turnout allowed us to complete an impressive array of projects in a single day—from essential construction finishing to creating inviting outdoor spaces.
Transforming Houses into Homes
Volunteers tackled numerous critical finishing tasks across six veteran homes:
- Installation of vinyl and wrought iron fencing for security and curb appeal
- Complete interior preparation with caulking, puttying, and sanding
- Fresh paint throughout each home, bringing warmth and personality to every room
- Kitchen appliance installation, making each house ready for family meals and gatherings
- Doorknob installation throughout the homes, putting the finishing touches on each room
- Landscape and hardscape completion, creating beautiful, sustainable outdoor environments
- Address mounting, officially marking each house as a future home
Creating Community Spaces
Beyond the individual homes, volunteers created an extraordinary 2,000-square-foot play area covered with lush turf. This vibrant community space features creative elements including:
- Interactive outdoor drum sets for musical exploration
- Comfortable benches where families can gather and connect
- Charming playhouses that inspire imagination and outdoor play
These thoughtful additions transform the development into more than just a collection of houses, they create a true community where veteran families can thrive together.
The Impact of Your Support
Each nail hammered, fence post installed, and brush stroke applied represents our commitment to providing deserving veteran families with the stability and dignity of homeownership. The WE Build event embodies our core belief that it takes a community to build a community.
The homes completed during this event will soon welcome six veteran families, providing them with the foundation they need to build stable, prosperous futures. These aren’t just buildings, they’re the beginning of new chapters for families who have given so much in service to our country.
Looking Forward
As we celebrate the success of our 15th annual WE Build event, we’re already looking ahead to how we can continue growing this initiative and serving more veteran families in the years to come. The tremendous turnout this year shows the power of community support and gives us hope for even greater achievements in the future.
To all the volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made this record-breaking event possible: thank you for your dedication, hard work, and compassion. Together, we’re not just building homes, we’re building futures.
