🌧️ Rain or shine ☔️

Rain couldn't dampen the spirit of our amazing volunteers and staff!

After a successful build day at John Deere, teams from Dubuque and Jackson County loaded up the wall panels and transported them to Rosalynn Carter Place. Despite the rainy weather, everyone came together to raise the walls and take another exciting step toward creating a future home for a deserving family.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, supported, and worked through the rain to make this possible.

Thirty families across Iowa are about to become homeowners because of a new partnership between Deere & Company and Habitat for Humanity.

Hammer. Snap. Saw. Measure. Mark. Cut. Our John Deere Second Crew is in the house! Exterior wall panels are nearly complete, then we'll move onto the interior panels. Our JD volunteers are bringing some serious skills to the event, while acquiring new ones that they'll keep for life. That's a win/win!
