We are excited to announce the dedication of the Builders Blitz home on February 11 at 10AM. The home is located at 111 Alexander Street, Clover. Lisa and her four children are so very grateful to the hundreds of volunteers who have helped her realize the dream of providing an affordable and stable home for her children.

Lisa has a degree in criminal justice and is also a licensed cosmetician instructor. She learned about Habitat from a friend and has been working toward her new home for nearly three years. She is grateful and excited to have, "a place to call home, a family home."

She says, "Habitat is helping me break the cycle and the struggle of living paycheck to paycheck." "My Habitat experience has been excellent. They're so welcoming. Everyone is just nice and gentle people. The volunteers have been amazing, whether it is on the construction site or in the ReStore, and they have all been so helpful all along the way."

Habitat for Humanity volunteers find joy in giving back. Volunteers have the opportunity to develop new skills and to make a difference in the lives of others while making new friends and getting involved. Our volunteers empower Habitat to increase our services to the community. When you become a volunteer, you become part of the Habitat family.

Are you looking to make a difference? We extend our arms and invite you to experience what's great about Habitat. No matter your talents and gifts, Habitat has a place for you. Every helping hand makes a difference. Whether on our construction sites, in our ReStore, helping out in the office or on special events, Habitat can use your talents. To become a Habitat volunteer please visit our website and register.

Do you have gentle used furniture, appliances and household goods you no longer need? Donate them to Habitat's ReStore and help us build and repair homes for qualified families. We also offer a pick-up service for larger items, to arrange for a pick-up, please visit our website.

We are grateful for the generous support of Home Depot, who is providing substantial support to complete needed repairs on veteran's homes. The grant provides up to $15,000 to address deficiencies of the home which if not improved, adversely affects the health and safety of the veteran.
Our first Veteran repair family Milford, served his county during the Vietnam era. He served in the US Army from 1968 - 1970. Milford states that he is so grateful to have the support of Habitat to complete essential repairs in his home so he can continue to live independently.
