Habitat for Humanity has two new home builds going up in Seneca for families in need of housing. A team of 5 men from Foothills Community Church went out this past week on Thursday and Saturday to help get the ball rolling after the foundations were poured.
Scott Hartney, who coaches our Habitat Reach Team, was impressed by the organization on site, and by the great work ethic and team spirit that he has seen each day. He joked that they even ended the work day on time (10:30am!)
The goal of these work days was to get the foundations cleaned up for inspection, and install floor joists and begin decking. As you can see in the pics, our team working with regular Habitat volunteers on the sites (including the prospective home owners) made a lot of progress. So much more can be accomplished when people come ready to serve and willing to do whatever it takes.
The thing to remember here is that the work time is only from 7:30am-10:30am; so all this work was accomplished in a few days over very few hours!
The floor joists are installed and decking is also now installed. The goal this week and weekend is to begin framing to put up walls starting on Thursday the 25th. Before we know it, there will be two brand new homes to bring new hope and blessing to families. What an incredible thing to be a part of!
This week we had multiple men & women sign up for serving with our Reach Team at Habitat. If you would like more info or to sign up, please follow the link below, and then click on "Get Involved" to fill out the online card.

When/where do we meet?
ReplyDeleteFor serving at the Habitat sites, always check your email each week for additional info, but the sites are on Jaymory Way behind Black Electric off of North Perkins Creek Rd in Seneca. There are two finiahed modulars there now, and as you drive down Jaymory Way, you will see the new builds also. Remember Saturday we are serving at the Safe Harbor Shelter in Anderson. Details in your email!
