STURGIS, S.D. – Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity and approximately 30 youth soccer players from the Sturgis area worked Wednesday on building homes for local families.
The Scooper Soccer players attend Sturgis Brown High School, Sturgis Williams Middle School and Stagebarn Middle School and range in age from 12-18 years.
The group volunteered in two sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The two homes are located on a lot at the corner of Sherman and Nellie Streets in Sturgis.
