Follow on Google News | Local carpenters volunteer with Purple Heart HomesBy: Group 7even Purple Heart Homes is an organization that helps wounded returning veterans find homes. The homes are newly remodeled and special-needs adapted. The organization also works with veterans to help them purchase and pay for homes and puts them on the path to be actual home owners. Approximately 14 IKORCC members and 12 United Brotherhood of Carpenters members volunteered for the year-long project. The carpenters contributed finances and time to the renovation of the home of Sgt. Demond Taylor and his wife. Taylor is a veteran of Iraq who currently works at the US Department of Veterans Affairs. The carpenters gutted, remodeled and redecorated the home complete with new windows, doors, roof, deck, two room additions and a two car garage. “It’s not about the house itself. It’s about what the house represents,” “It’s truly an honor to give back to someone who has given so much for our country,” said William Karkoff, IKORCC Representative. “We are so glad we could help.” For more information about this project, please contact William Karkoff at wkarkoff@ikorcc.com.
