On Monday, Oct. 5, at 11 a.m., Lessard Builders, Inc., (LBI) presented the first of a series of checks to Habitat for Humanity at LBI’s Dickinson Creek development in Frederica.
“We’ve been planning to support Habitat anyway and felt World Habitat Day was a good time to announce it,” said Brian Lessard, president of Lessard Builders.
World Habitat Day started in 1985 when the UN declared the first Monday of October to be World Habitat Day to recognize that adequate shelter is a basic need for all, according to Jocelyn McBride, executive director of Central Delaware Habitat for Humanity.
