The City of Fishers will partner with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity to host the Fishers Community Panel Build on Friday, October 3, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Holland Park, 1 Park Drive.

Nearly 100 volunteers and local partners are expected to take part in constructing exterior and interior wall panels for a future Habitat for Humanity home. Once completed, the home will provide safe and stable housing for a family in the Greater Indianapolis area.

“This event embodies the spirit of Fishers—community, partnership, and collaboration,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “By partnering with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity and with the support of local businesses and volunteers, we’re doing more than building walls for a house; we’re coming together as a community to strengthen connections and work toward a shared purpose.”

A board-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., featuring remarks from Mayor Fadness and community partners.

Jim Morris, President and CEO of Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity, emphasized the importance of events like the Panel Build. “Affordable homeownership is essential to the health, stability, and economic prosperity of both individual families and entire communities,” Morris said. “We applaud the Fishers community for coming together to build the walls of a future home for a first-time buyer. As the path to homeownership becomes increasingly difficult for many families, the support from the City of Fishers and its sponsors not only raises awareness of the growing need—it helps make homeownership a reality for families.”

This year’s event is supported by sponsors including Meyer Najem, RQAW, OfficeWorks, Republic Services, Indy Fuel, Indy Ignite, Fishers Freight, Inherent Commercial, Main Event Merchandise Group, and BJ’s Wholesale, who are contributing both funding and volunteers.
