Moody Air Force Base recently published a heartwarming article detailing how Moody’s Airmen helped build a house in the local community:

Volunteers from the local community came out to build frames, pound nails, secure siding and much more over the weekend, but Moody showed up in full force.

“Volunteers from Moody are going to be the bulk of the manpower for this house,” said [Kamille Dean, Habitat for Humanity volunteer coordinator]…

“Moody has always been a great supporter of us,” said Dean. “Whether it’s sponsoring this house or just having Airmen come out and volunteer on a regular basis we are extremely thankful for all their support.”

While it is good to see Airmen engaging their local community, it’s also reassuring to see an Air Force base officially support a charity. A few critical stories may have led some to believe members of the Air Force and their units can’t be involved in groups like Habitat for Humanity because they’re a 501(c)3 and non-Federal entity.

Thankfully, that isn’t true, as Moody AFB demonstrated, and as other military installations have demonstrated as well — as they’ve supported local Christian ministries.
