FFA members help build Habitat home

Posted: Updated:
Indianapolis - More than 120 FFA members are teaming up with Habitat for Humanity to build four new homes on Wheeler Street. They're in town for the national convention.

This project is part of their service learning requirement. Each crew is working seven hours a day to learn and leave a lasting impression on the Hoosier state.

"It's going to be hard work but it's fulfilling. It's a tangible kind of thing. You're building something and you get to see the benefits of it so that's kind of cool," said Keely Weinberger, FFA.

"There's clearly the sweat equity part of it but having the homeowners on site here and having the students work side by side with volunteers and homeowners, I think it sends the message that you know, if we all put our hands together on a project, and work together, we can make some pretty tremendous things happen in our community," said Ron Hoyt, FFA Habitat project site leader.

The move-in and dedication will take place in early November.
