BCB Community Bank approached Hope For The Warriors® to identify a military family that would benefit from a mortgage-free home. Hope For The Warriors® assists wounded service members and veterans from all military branches across the country. Through their work with military families and their relationships with VA Hospitals and caseworkers, they identified a wounded service member and family in the area.
The needs of the family were reviewed and it was determined that the home required renovations to suit this family of six. To complete this project, support has also been given by Highland Associates, Plaza Construction, Heart 9/11 with help from Laborers Local 79 - New York City, Network Contracting, Deutsch Electric, Allied Trade Contracting, McKenna Construction and Eastern Shore Mechanical.
