More volunteers are needed, organizers say.
Four low-income families are waiting to move in as soon as the three bedroom homes are finished, said Habitat board member Don Peterman. The blitz build is set to begin at 8 a.m. in the 4400 block of West Madison Street off Stillwell Avenue in the Ridgedale Subdivision of Palatka and run through Saturday. Peterman said the need for volunteers is great. Habitat needs local volunteers of all skill levels for a few hours or a few days in a variety of jobs. Last year, we were running an average of 40 to 45 volunteers on site daily.
