Building with Microsoft
These hardworking volunteers from Microsoft were on hand recently to help us with a home renovation in Leesburg, VA. As you can see from the photos below, they worked on everything from kitchen demo and repair to priming the bedroom walls.

If your organization is interested in joining us for a Team Build, please contact Kathy Martin at kmartin@loudounhabitat.org.
If you would like to assist with this renovation and are unable to volunteer, please consider using the button below to make a financial donation.
Thank you Bear Chase Brewing Company
