ELKHART, Ind. — Around 40 volunteers, including employees of Forest River, participated in a panel build for a family of four in Elkhart, according to an article at ElkhartTruth.com
The event took place inside the company’s Plant 83, where the group worked for about two hours constructing the interior and exterior walls for the Cervantes family’s new home. The construction team from Habitat for Humanity of Elkhart County also joined the panel build.
