John Deere Blitz Build: Week One

1218 Bauch in July

Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity is partnering with the Supply Management Department at John Deere to Blitz Build two Habitat homes in preparation for interior winter work.  From August 30 to September 3, John Deere volunteers will frame walls, roof, hang exterior siding and install doors and windows; completely drying in the home.  During week one of the Blitz Build, there will be 10 different volunteers each day working at 1218 Bauch Street in Waterloo.  A partnership with Waterloo’s Community Development Office makes HOME funds available for affordable housing in Waterloo and Iowa Heartland HFH was able to purchase a dilapidated home, have it demolished and will help revitalize the neighborhood with a new Habitat home.  Grace Reformed Church located on Maxwell Street near the build site, has also partnered with Habitat for Humanity to allow volunteers to use their church for snacks and lunch as well as parking.
