Palm Desert, CA: On Wednesday, March 28 Habitat for Humanity Coachella Valley (HFHCV) and its partners, The Home Depot Foundation, The City of Indio and Coachella Valley Housing Coalition will bring over 400 Home Depot volunteers, including vendors and executives, to work on several exciting major projects in Indio. Beginning around 8:30 am, groups of volunteers will construct two houses, designated for veteran families. One house will be under construction on a lot at Mountain View Ave. and the second, at Orange Grove Avenue. Another group of volunteers will be doing exterior renovations on eleven existing homes in the neighborhood. Yucca Lane will be closed from Monday, March 26 through Wednesday March 28 at 2 pm. Yet a third group of volunteers will construct children’s playhouses and outdoor furniture for families at March Air Force Base’s veterans housing. The day will end with a gathering for all volunteers at Yucca Park in Indio.

Dave Thornton, Executive Director of HFHCV says: “This massive program is the result of commitment on the part of all partners working together to address the need for affordable housing in Riverside County and to allow existing homeowners in need to remain in their homes.”
