On Friday, we traded the sound of typing for that of staple guns and saws by volunteering with Habitat KC at two of their ongoing construction sites. We divided and conquered, tackling tasks such as installing plywood underlayment, building a porch guardrail, bird boxes for the roof overhang, and blocking in walls and ceilings. It was rewarding to use our time and labor towards changing someone’s future.
