The City of Fishers is once again joining forces with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity for the second annual Panel Build event, scheduled for Friday, October 4, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Holland Park. Nearly 100 volunteers and community partners will come together to assemble the exterior and interior wall panels for a future home, benefiting a family in need in the Greater Indianapolis area.

“This event represents the essence of Fishers – a strong sense of community, teamwork, and collaboration,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “By partnering with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity and with the support of local businesses, we’re not just constructing a house alongside the homeowner; we’re uniting our community to work towards a shared purpose.”

A traditional board-cutting ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m., where Mayor Fadness will be joined by Jim Morris, President & CEO of Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity, along with other community partners involved in the project.

Morris emphasized the significance of the event, stating, “Affordable homeownership is important to the quality of life, health, and economic prosperity of an entire community as well as individual households. We applaud the Fishers community for coming together to build the walls for a future first-time buyer. As fewer and fewer families can afford their first home, support from the City of Fishers and their sponsors raises awareness of the need and impact of affordable homeownership.”

Local businesses have rallied behind the cause, with sponsors including CRG Residential, Meyer Najem, Indy Fuel, Fishers Freight, Carrington Homes, Citizen’s State Bank, Inherent, and Sweetgreen contributing both funding and volunteers.
