Wake Forest is again co-sponsoring a Habitat for Humanity house with the medical center, and the project kicks off on Saturday, July 13, with a Wall Build. WFU volunteers and Habitat construction staff will build all the walls – both interior and exterior – for the WFU/WFBMC house. The build will begin at 8 a.m. and finish up about noon.
