Two different charity projects were in high profile along Salem Avenue in Roanoke today: three Habitat for Humanity renovations and one Building Together project just up the street.

One of the Habitat houses was being worked on by a group of retirees who have formed a group to do just that, while employees of Roanoke City put their sweat into the fourth house for a family that could not afford to pay for the work.
