Players helping Habitat for Humanity again

I believe this is the third house they've helped build this offseason. Dallas Thomas said they have really united as a team this offseason. Congrats to the guys on helping a great cause!

That is awesome and I love the idea of Habitat for Humanity.

But I have to be a debbie downer for a second... I helped build a Habitat house and I will never do it again. The people we built it for drive a brand new fully loaded Impala on 20 somethings and a brand new fully loaded Camaro on 20 somethings. Both have custom paint jobs as well. So they can spend $60k+ in 2 cars but can't afford a house...

Sorry, had to let that out. I just hope the one they are building is going towards a family that truly needs it.

That really sucks.

I worked for Habitat for a while and they really do the right things to help the community. Every once in a while a few jackasses, like the ones you mentioned above, slip through the cracks.

Glad to see the VOLS improving team chemistry/unity while working to help those who are less fortunate.

Hopefully true on both counts.

Hey, at least that is one less home the govt. didn't pay for. They did, however------ pay for the cars and wheels. There was a time when folks would be embarrased to take so much.
