Event Description: Ready to roll up your sleeves and make a difference? Join us as we come together to build sheds for deserving members of our community who are in need of storage at their home!
Earlier this year in April, HOME, Inc. was at the Build My Future event, an expo of the trades for students from all over Iowa. 7,000 students came to try their hand at different trades and learn about all the opportunities that exist. HOME, Inc. provided a framing demo building wall panels and the students were able to build enough for 6 sheds!
On July 24th we will be final building of the sheds on each homeowner’s property!
