FISHERS, Ind. — The City of Fishers partnered with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity for the second annual "panel build" event on Friday, Oct. 4.
The event took place at Holland Park and featured nearly 100 volunteers and community partners coming together to assemble the exterior and interior wall panels for a future Habitat for Humanity home.
"We call this a 'panel build,' it's essentially putting together the wall panels of a future home," said Jim Morris. "So it's kind of fun because you get together in a parking lot and the volunteers get to come out and put this together. The pieces are already pre-cut, so they'll build the walls of a future home, they'll kind of set it up in the style that it'll look like and then they'll take those panels and take them to a future job site for the actual house to be completed."
The future home will go to a family in need in the greater Indianapolis area.
"This is our second year of actually doing this, partnering with Habitat for Humanity," said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. "A lot of my boys are out here, firefighters, police officers and a lot of our city staff along with a lot of businesses working together to build a new home for someone."
