The volunteer effort was coordinated by Sgt. Vance Brown, a Petroleum Supply Specialist with Alpha Company, 209th (ASB).
“I reached out to Jo Bautista from Habitat for Humanity and worked with my chain of command to get everything approved”, said Brown.
“We are looking for opportunities to give back to the community and Habitat for Humanity provides that opportunity”, he said.
Ms. Jo Bautista the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Leeward affiliate said “Volunteers are the lifeline of our organization; without volunteers we could not build these homes.”

Bautista said “I feel so blessed to have all of you guys here."
