Dedication Service

The Dedication Service for the BWA Blitz Build was held in Kaplan, Louisiana on Saturday. It was amazing to come together with many of the individuals who helped make the build possible and to see the progress made in just a few short weeks.


One of the six houses built with the almost
3,000 volunteer hours provided by the BWA.
