Wescom CU Builds Two Habitats for Humanity to Top Last Year’s Performance

POMONA, Calif. – Volunteer employees and members of Wescom CU were putting the finishing touches this weekend on this year’s project at the L.A. County Fair–the construction of two houses for low-income county residents. This project, done in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, tops last year’s output when the crew built a single home at the fairgrounds, while thousands of people watched. More than 250 volunteers have worked for the last 18 days to build the two 1,200 square-foot, three-bedroom houses, which will be moved to permanent locations in Pomona after completion. The future owners of the houses, the Guerra’s and Michel Horton, joined volunteers in the work last weekend. Wescom paid for materials for the first house, while Habitat is still raising funds to pay for the second home.
