Event Announcement

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL– (September 4, 2024) Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County (HFHGPBC) is excited to announce its annual Veterans Build event, generously presented by Vertical Bridge. This year’s event will take place on November 1, 2024, featuring multiple job sites across Palm Beach County. This significant fundraiser and community effort aims to support veterans and active service members.

Honoring Our Veterans

With nearly 76,000 veterans residing in Palm Beach County, Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to honoring these heroes by promoting homeownership. The Veterans Build program is pivotal in ensuring that veterans can achieve or maintain the American dream of homeownership, providing them with a secure and affordable place to live.

How You Can Get Involved

There are several impactful ways for the community to contribute to Veterans Build 2024. You can become a sponsor, participate in or organize fundraising activities and volunteer for building projects, or donate to the American Dream Fund, a special fund dedicated to Veterans Build 2024. Immediately following the build, join us for the American Dream BBQ at the Boynton Beach Arts & Cultural Center. This reception will celebrate the event’s success and honor the veterans and active service members in attendance.

i’m assuming you’ve read my post about bindis/cultural appropriation? if so that would answer most of your questions. i think as with all culturally sensitive subjects, you need to know the background well, and you need to be able to answer for your actions. if you still feel this is something that will improve your self perception and life, you should do it. i used to HATE my face. i still do some days but my vertical bridge piercing really helps me. it gives me a focus point, and it’s also a way to center myself. when i’m stressed i can concentrate on this particular point and use it to collect my thoughts. if you have any particular questions i’d love to answer them, anonymous or otherwise. just think through whatever modification you do fully. it is a permanent installment of your face. what will it give you? what will it tell the people around you? if you have a lot of hindu people in your life - ask them if this is derogatory. i got a no answer and i can’t tell what i would have done if someone would have thought it was.
