On February 4, members of the Habitat Episcopal Coalition came together to build walls for the next Habitat home at Old Poole Place in Garner. The ongoing project includes efforts of church members from nine congregations, students from St. Augustine’s University, and Habitat homebuyers themselves.
The Episcopal Build project will be ongoing into May. Actual construction has not begun yet due to a delay in the permitting process; however, when construction begins there will be many opportunities to help. Special attention should be given to March 25, which the date Nativity is responsible for providing lunch for the workers. We will need between 10 and 15 volunteers to help that day.
Habitat Wake’s Mission is to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Its vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Habitat homes are not given away: Participants complete sweat equity hours, take financial education courses, and purchase their homes by paying an affordable monthly mortgage.
