FORKS — Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County will raise the first wall of a new house at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The public is invited to the wall-raising in the Maloney Lane development at Fir and Elterich avenues.
The Gooding family, Forks residents, have qualified to purchase the home after it is completed in early 2016.
Family members will help build their home alongside volunteers.
They are required to complete 500 hours of sweat equity as part of the Habitat self-help home ownership program.
Also joining Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County on this Forks build is a new group of RV Care-A-Vanners, who are volunteering for a two-week period.
RV Care-A-Vanners travel around the United States and Canada, helping local Habitat for Humanity affiliates build hundreds of houses annually.
“We are happy to be building in the Forks community again in partnership with the Gooding family,” said Cyndi Hueth, executive director of Habitat for Humanity.
“This will be our 27th Habitat home in Clallam County and our third home in Forks.
“We need volunteers from Forks to help us build during the next few months.”
