A group of volunteers in North Carolina's Wake County is spending Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year building homes for people in need of affordable housing, CBS17.com reports. More than a dozen faith groups spent a few hours on Jan. 15 building the walls for two homes being constructed by Habitat for Humanity of Wake County.
Daniel Moore with Oak City Baptist Church has been serving with Habitat for the past decade, but he says volunteering on MLK Day makes the work more important
“It brings back the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King had in terms of the community coming together, people of all colors, all backgrounds,” Moore said.
