The Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity chapter is reaching out to the local community for volunteers to join them in their upcoming Veterans Build event. The open ceremony is set to take place on November 3rd at 9 a.m., at 607 Link Street and the organization is inviting residents to actively participate.
Veterans Build is more than just constructing houses; it's about building bridges, creating opportunities, and showing gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country. By volunteering for this event, community members can contribute directly to providing affordable and comfortable housing solutions for our deserving veterans.
“We believe in the power of community. When we come together, amazing things can happen,” said Rick Callaway, Veteran and COO at Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity in a press release. “We are inviting the community to join us in this meaningful initiative. Your time and effort can make a significant impact on the lives of our veterans.”
Volunteer opportunities are available from Nov. 3 through Nov. 9. No prior experience is necessary, as training and guidance will be provided on-site. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals and groups to give back to the community, learn new skills, and forge connections with fellow volunteers who share a passion for making a difference.
The open ceremony on Nov. 3rd will not only be a celebration of the progress made but also a launchpad for future endeavors. Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity encourages everyone, regardless of their background or expertise, to join the cause and be part of this transformative experience.
To volunteer for the Veterans Build event or to learn more about how you can get involved, please contact Faith and Community Relations Director Kelly Rodriguez at fcr@fayettevillenchabitat.org or by phone at 910 -483-0952.

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
