(May 5, 2008) – Four area families will realize their dream of homeownership thanks in part to a donation of ready-mix concrete by County Materials to Habitat for Humanity.
The donation of 25 yards of concrete for each of four houses will go into their foundations. The families who will inhabit these homes will be heavily involved in the construction process, which also includes high school building classes that are assembling the walls off-site.
“It’s rewarding on a personal level,” said Keith Berens of Wausau-based K Berens Contracting LLC. “These families can’t afford these things, and these donations make it available for them. You can’t put a number on helping them solve a problem.”
