A Day at Habitat – First time Volunteer

15 Jun

Daniel McNair is building friendships in Chattanooga through volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. Daniel is a member of Chattanooga Friends and they came to volunteer at the job site Friday June 3.

This was Daniel’s first time ever volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, but he said he will do it again. While on the triplex job site, Daniel helped paint, carried heavy items, installed door stops, and laid down plastic to protect the carpet.

“The crew here on the site is great,” said Daniel, referring to our construction crew leaders. “Lee and Brandon are awesome and fun.” Since this was Daniel’s first time, he was surprised with how organized everything was and how fast everything goes.

Daniel also brought his brother along to work on the triplex, and they both really enjoyed themselves. They both also participated in the 2010 Chattanooga Mud Run and they look forward to doing it again this year. The Mud Run is August 20th and registration is open. For more information visit the website.
