Nevada State Bank supports Habitat for Humanity

Nevada State Bank employees worked on the frame of their Habitat for Humanity house Oct. 16.

The structural wooden framework of the house was put together and then raised, providing the basic foundation for the rest of the house.

Dallas Haun, president and CEO, and Russell Price, executive vice president, along with other senior level executives and employees from throughout branches and departments of Nevada State Bank are building the house for a family in need.

In December 2009, Nevada State Bank donated a townhouse to Habitat for Humanity. The house sold for $106,500 in spring 2010, and the proceeds are being used to finance the 2010 Habitat House.

It is a not-for-profit organization that builds decent, affordable housing with the help of volunteer labor and donated time and materials and funds. Each home is sold at no profit and with a no-interest mortgage to local working families who otherwise might be forced to live in substandard housing. Families contribute sweat equity by helping in the construction of their homes. Contact Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas at 638-6477 or visit habitatlasvegas.org.
