Bank of America – Santa Fe College Build Underway!

Alachua Habitat for Humanity is happy to announce a collaboration with Bank of America to build a home for the Robert Alexander family in Gainesville. Construction began this fall and will conclude this summer! Bank of America has a long relationship with Habitat for Humanity International and recently volunteered to finance this home after a nomination by Jon Gardner, Market President. Mr. Gardner has long been associated with Alachua Habitat and has nominated funds for local use in the Gainesville area in the past.

Santa Fe College will also participate in this build, providing much of the work and design on the project. Volunteerism is a basic aspect of completing all Habitat homes. Santa Fe students, faculty, and apprentices work on this home during the week, and volunteers work on weekends. As part of their participation, Bank of America will establish three to four group volunteer days for local bank employees.

The UF Habitat Club will provide student volunteers every Saturday. The UF Habitat Club has a very active and dedicated group of volunteers who come out on weekends to assist.

Mr. Alexander’s family and friends will also be putting in required homeowner hours!
