Volunteers returning to serve in Texas

This fall, Amarillo Habitat celebrated the completion of its 100th home, a milestone made even more special by help from an organization that helped with its first.

The American Jewish Society for Service, which sends high school student volunteers around the country for service-learning experiences, was the first organized group to work with Amarillo Habitat.

AJSS sent volunteers to Amarillo’s first build in 1985 and adjusted project schedules to come back and be a part of building house 100.
