NEW ORLEANS, LA  [Tuesday Apr.17.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Green Day's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong and his family have become volunteers for Habitat For Humanity.

The Armstrong clan is hard at work in New Orleans, doing what they can to help remedy the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, and building homes for those who are without adequate shelter.

The star and his family have been keeping fans updated on their progress on www.Greenday.net. Armstrong writes, "Today we worked at the upper 9th ward. I hung soffit over the front porch. I had to do some upside down hammering technique but we managed to get the job done. We felt a great sense of accomplishment when we finished. Before I nailed the last piece of soffit , I reached inside and wrote my name with a pencil and dated it.. Ben is a great construction leader. Jason was a great partner.. It was amazing to see everyone getting their hands dirty in good conscience, working together for the greater good."
