Jack Laurie Group Golf Outing

Meet the Hendersons
After moving nearly every year for the past 15 years, Dominique and her three children are ready to have a place to call home. Dominique works hard at a local manufacturer, but her real passion is cooking and baking for everyone. She frequently shares her culinary creations with Habitat volunteers on the construction site and the local Rescue Mission. Someday, she would love to open her own business to share the love with others!
Fort Wayne Metals Panel Build
This year marks Fort Wayne Metals’ 5th Panel Build sponsorship! This year, we built another two homes in one day on their campus. After all the walls were built, Home Lumber transported them back to the construction site, where they’ll be attached to the concrete slab.
