Setting out the welcome mat for neighbors, potential homeowners and the community Tuesday June 14th.
Thanks to all who came out to our open lot party Tuesday 14 June 2011 in Jacksonville. Jubilee Habitat for Humanity recently acquired several lots at the corner of North Diamond and Freedman Streets in Jacksonville. Our next few houses will be built there.
Habitat volunteers and board members were on hand during the afternoon. We met neighbors, potential homeowners, volunteers and several people who offered help with future builds. Right now we’re still looking for our next homeowner, get our application form on-line.
Please pass the word to potential homeowners! We will announce when builds will begin, and you can come out Saturday mornings to help. Please like us on Facebook. And, ask your church to provide links to our blog, Facebook and web pages; and include our info in your communications as chances for mission work.
Thanks to all who put the event together! (Especially Kathy Turner family selection chair, Shelley Heitbrink publicity chair and Steve Warmowski vice president.) Thanks to WLDS/WEAI and Nick Kovatch for doing a story on us. And to The Source and the Jacksonville Journal-Courier for helping to get the word out about our event.
