The Build-A-Thon is an annual build between AmeriCorps/ Habitat for Humanity. In the past all AmeriCorps members from across the country have come together to build homes in one location during the week of May 8 (AmeriCorps Week). HOWEVER, this year a little twist has been added. This year members are heading off to seven different locations across the country to not only build new Habitat homes, but work on Neighborhood Revitalization Initiatives "NRI" as well (i.e. painting, home repairs, installing ramps, or landscaping, etc...)
Laura and Emily will be painting, roofing, and doing disaster recovery with the Greater Birmingham affiliate through NRI. They will be joined by over 60 other AmeriCorps and Habitat members from various states.
Check out this sweet video from last year's Build-A-Thon!! AND for more information on what Laura and Emily will be doing, take a peek at the Birmingham, AL affiliate's press release!
