Unexpected Help

After struggling to lift heavy tresses by hand, we were visited by a Angel.  A driver from Marksberry Roofing in North Vernon stopped by and volunteered his time and boom truck.  We thank him and everyone who has helped us accomplish our mission.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Dupont house was held recently.  This location was made possible by the generosity of the town of Dupont which donated the lot on Main Street to Habitat.  If you would like to volunteer, we normally work on Thursdays, starting at 10 and on Saturdays at 8.  You can also call Debbie Ford, our volunteer coordinator at 873-6390 for more specific information.
