To celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and his dedication to service, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity helped build a home for a family in need Saturday in Pittsboro. The volunteers were taught everything they needed to know. Every task a volunteer did helped to create an affordable, decent, and energy-efficient home for a family in need. One of Habitat for Humanity’s church partners, Chapel in the Pines, brought volunteers and lunch for the other volunteers and staff on site.
