AGCRA Gold Vault Chapter Volunteers with Habitat for Humanity

On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association (AGCRA) Gold Vault Chapter Members proudly participated in a volunteer event with Habitat for Humanity. The day’s mission was clear~ build affordable housing, strengthen the community by revitalizing neighborhoods, gain new skills, meet new people, and gain a profound sense of accomplishment while directly helping families achieve homeownership and stability. The organization, Habitat for Humanity, ranks among the top 5 in the state for building homes across Kentucky.

Throughout the day, volunteers worked side-by-side with the Habitat for Humanity crew and future homeowner who was an incredibly outstanding person dedicated to making her dream home come true. Their help with the project was a rewarding experience that brought an even deeper sense of purpose to our efforts. After receiving task assignments, history overview, and safety briefings, the Gold Vault Chapter got to work, demonstrating teamwork, precision, and commitment in every step.

The team engaged in several phases of the build process, including taking measurements, moving wood and hardware, drilling, nailing, stapling, taping, and cutting materials to bring structural elements together to the final project. Whether working at ground level or high on ladders or even working simply as a safety keeping the order, every member played an essential role in transforming materials into the framework of a future home. What began as a chilly morning, quickly turned into a day of warm camaraderie and hard work as the layers came off from the heat and sweat as progress took shape.

By the end of the day, which came sooner than expected from the effectiveness and efficiency of the team, chapter members stood back to see the tangible results of our labor while enjoying a well-deserved pizza lunch and celebrating not only the completion of assigned tasks but the collective spirit of service that defines the Gold Vault Chapter.

The AGCRA Gold Vault Chapter remains committed to strengthening the community through hands-on service, teamwork, and compassion. They are proud to have been part of a project that embodies both the Army values and the mission of Habitat for Humanity. The chapter plans to continue to do so every 1st Saturday of the month to build homes, hope, and a brighter future for all.
