A total 0f 216 volunteers braved the chilly
weather to build our 17th and 18th houses. Our new Family Partners are the families of Betty Johnson and Keisha Graves.
Thank you volunteers and
sponsers. This was a great community effort. You may view the slideshow below.
Our Fall Fest this year was very successful. The
silent auction and the bake sale were popular as always. The hayride and
inflatables created a lot of excitement as well. Thank you for your continued
support for Habitat.
Thanks to all who supported out first potato
supper. Please continue to support Habitat by attending our Fall Fest on
October 3 and volunteer for the double Blitz Build on October 17-18.
