Biden, Staff Help Give Back To Disabled Veteran At Sussex County Habitat for Humanity Build Day

Attorney General Beau Biden joined a group of two dozen staff and family members from the Attorney General’s Office July 27 to roll up their sleeves and show their support for Sussex County Habitat for Humanity’s Veteran Build Home in Georgetown Point. The home is being built and funded by local veterans and veterans' groups for Mari Ellyn Hellard, a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran, and her two sons Joseph and Joshua.

As a member of the Army National Guard who was deployed to Iraq with the First State’s 261st Signal Brigade, Biden worked a shift alongside other volunteers to put down flooring to prepare for upcoming tile work and installing vinyl siding.

“Our staff and I were privileged to spend some time this weekend with Mari Ellyn and her family and to lend a hand to the construction of their beautiful new home,” Biden said. “I want to thank Habitat for Humanity and our dedicated veterans' organizations for their commitment to her and for meeting the needs of so many other members of our community.”
