Greetings!
Progress, action, and volunteers, these words describe the activity happening at 1709 Ward Drive! The first volunteer crew began Saturday, July 17, 2010. To date, over 100 volunteers have assisted in the building of Home 11. The building continues and we are looking for additional volunteers to join us.
Opportunities to serve Habitat are numerous family selection, fund raising, church relations, family support are all available committee work. If your church, business, or group are interested in joining us with this Christian ministry we would be happy to speak to you!
We would encourage you to drive by the work site and take a look. With each passing week, the landscape changes, and the house "becomes a home."
Thank you for your continued support!
God's Blessings,
Fred Rist
