A big thank you to Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island for joining us on our Westerly build site! These volunteers jumped right into constructing window jambs and installing vinyl siding on our tool sheds. Their friendliness and contagious energy made for a productive day of service. Thank you for helping build homes, community, and hope. 💙🏡🔨

Ever wonder what our homes look like during construction? 🏡

Join our Build Site Supervisor, Nate the Great, as he brings you on behind the scenes of our current duplex build in Westerly! This walkthrough is of one side of the duplex, while the other unit—its mirror image—is having drywall hung.

Thank you to all of the volunteers, donors, and supporters helping make these homes possible for two future homeowners! 🏡💕

Dunn's Corners Community Church, Presbyterian - PCUSA brought their A-game to our Westerly Duplex project! Their painting skills were put to the test as they helped move these homes closer to completion. With this project right in their own backyard, we’re grateful for their longtime partnership and the care they continue to show their community and future neighbors. 🏠🎨 Thank you, Dunn's Corners!
