YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity is calling on community members to volunteer during Veteran Build Week, running November 9th through 14th, in honor of local Veterans. Volunteers can help with 2,600 square feet of flooring and trim at a local VFW facility or support operations at the Habitat Store. The organization said its construction team recently finished a roof replacement for a veteran in Gleed. Meloney Rosen, executive director of Yakima Valley Partners Habitat for Humanity, said the week is meant to turn thanks into direct help. "Veteran Build Week is about putting our gratitude into action. From helping a Veteran protect their home to improving a space where Veterans come together, these projects reflect what we can accomplish when our community shows up for one another," said Rosen. The group said volunteers can help at the Habitat Store on Monday, November 9th and Tuesday, November 10th. Construction projects are scheduled for Wednesday, November 11th through Saturday, November 14th. No construction experience is required to express interest in volunteering, and assignments will depend on project needs.
