DC Habitat for Humanity held a week long 'Remembering the Dream: Building Hope in Our Community' volunteer program commemorating the life and works of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over the course of the week, centered around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, volunteers from many walks of life joined together in building homes for low income working families on our 53 home site in Northeast Washington, DC. |
