It has been another successful day at the Riverside Arapahoe build with the Wells Fargo women volunteers.

6/14/12 Crestmore Dirt Party
All the boys helped our grader Frank Abacherli finish Grade Crestmore on Thursday. Because the left side of the house is so narrow, only hand labor would do. The boys tackled this challenging task and moved a considerable amount of dirt, left over from trenching the foundation, saving Habitat Riverside a considerable amount of money in labor. Thank you for your […]
