Phillip Miller at Habitat Project - New Orleans

One of his most recent projects has been to assist in the rebuilding/renewal of New Orleans through Habitat for Humanity.  Along with a busload of volunteers Phillip worked on two homes being built in the “Backatown” area of New Orleans. Phillip says “It was a great experience, and two families will have decent, affordable housing that never would have been available to them. The Habitat for Humanity organization does a great job, and this kind of effort will change lives. It is an honor to participate.
