The City of Fishers is excited to partner with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity for the second annual Panel Build event on Friday, October 4 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Holland Park (1 Park Drive).
Nearly 100 volunteers and community partners will assemble the exterior and interior wall panels for a future home for a family in need in the Greater Indianapolis area.
“This event represents the essence of Fishers – a strong sense of community, teamwork, and collaboration. By partnering with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity and with the support of local businesses, we’re not just constructing a house alongside the homeowner; we’re uniting our community to work towards a shared purpose,” said Mayor Scott Fadness.
The traditional board-cutting ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. with Mayor Fadness, Jim Morris, President & CEO of Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity, and panel build fellow partners.
“Affordable homeownership is important to the quality of life, health, and economic prosperity of an entire community as well as individual households, so we applaud the Fishers community for coming together to build the walls for a future first-time buyer,” said Jim Morris, Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity President & CEO. “As fewer and fewer families can afford their first home, support from the City of Fishers and their sponsors raises awareness of the need and impact of affordable homeownership and helps make it a reality for local Hamilton County families.”
Special thanks to sponsors CRG Residential, Meyer Najem, Indy Fuel, Fishers Freight, and Carrington Homes, Citizen’s State Bank, Inherent, and Sweetgreen for contributing funding and volunteers to make this possible.
