More details on Summer 2011 Build

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Harris County Habitat for Humanity feels blessed to operate in a community with so many giving, caring souls. It would be impossible to list all the people who make our work possible, but here are a few folks  to whom we currently owe a special debt of gratitude:

• Ron Burns, from Dally Creek Tree Farm, who worked tirelessly with his heavy equipment to clear the land so our 2011 home could be built. Ron also was able to use his heavy equipment to help volunteers unload an 18-wheeler packed with construction materials after our June 24 groundbreaking.
• Floyd Williams, who brought his 18-wheeler tractor and hooked it up to our 18-wheeler trailer (fighting a stubborn, frozen trailer braking system in the dark!), to move the trailer to where we needed it for the Summer  2011 Build.
• Jimmy Durham, who lives near our Mann Road property, who so graciously helped us with his backhoe to break the very dry, very hard ground to enable our "perk test" to occur as scheduled.

We are blessed to have other professionals who plan to help volunteer their expertise with digging our footings, installing our electrical and more. If you have a special skill that you think might be helpful to us, now or in the future, shoot us an email at info@harriscountyhabitat.org.

Who we are 
Harris County Habitat for Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.

Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor, better known as "sweat equity," into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving fund that is used to build more houses.

Donations needed!
Even with homeowners paying mortgages, local financial donations are critical to our work. Contributions in the form of a check, made out to Harris County Habitat,  may be mailed to Harris County Habitat for Humanity, P.O. Box 1522, Pine Mountain, Ga. 31822, or you can also donate online.
