Habitat for Humanity Fargo adds ‘Hero Build’ drywall with Border States Posted on November 1, 2017March 30, 2021 by Border States Employee-owners recently braved the cold so a Habitat for Humanity Fargo family won’t have to. Temperatures in the low twenties with a strong wind chill didn’t stop Border States volunteers from teaming up the week of Oct. 23 in Fargo, ND, to help put up drywall for Lake Aggasiz Habitat for Humanity‘s 2017 Hero Build. The project is taking place at the property where, in February 2016, Fargo Police Officer Jason Moszer lost his life in the line of duty.

For me to be able to come out and do this, it’s a lot of fun and it’s going toward a great cause.” Other employee-owners echoed Schmidt, adding it was fun putting up drywall to provide warmth and protection for Danielle John, a sex-trafficking survivor and human-trafficking specialist at Youthworks, and her four children.
