MORRISTOWN, N.J., April 30, 2018–Volunteers from businesses and the community will converge upon Beyer Ford dealership in Morristown, N.J. on May 3 – 4 to frame walls for the future home of a U.S. Army veteran. The event is the first phase of Morris Habitat’s Blitz Build project this summer, which will culminate in the completion of four affordable homes in just ten days in Mine Hill. Radio stations WDHA and WMTR will be broadcasting live from the Morristown build site each day.
Thank you to everyone who helped make WDHA & WMTR’s Hammer for Heroes 2018 a success! Employees of the sponsoring companies came out on May 3 and 4 to build the walls that will become a safe and stable family home for a future homeowner family. 105.5 WDHA FM broadcast live from the build site at Beyer Ford in Morristown. Their disc jockeys worked side by side with the other volunteers at each morning and afternoon build shift. A great time was had by all. We hope to you see next year with a hammer in hand! This year’s event was dedicated to future homeowner family Tiffany Giacchino and John Freudenberg and their daughter, who will reside at our Randall Avenue project in Mine Hill. John is a veteran of the U.S. Army who served in Afghanistan. WDHA & WMTR’s Hammer for Heroes Build 105.5 WDHA and 1250 WMTR teamed up with Morris Habitat for Humanity to build a home for a veteran. On the video, volunteers are welcomed by Terrie Carr, WDHA Program & Music Director, and Blair Bravo, CEO of Morris Habitat. Future homeowners Tiffany and John thank everyone for coming out on this hot but glorious day. Video plays for 3 minutes and 22 seconds.Building a Home for a Veteran:
