Persevering Through the Pandemic Life recently changed for all of us overnight! The unexpected arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a request for everyone to remain home and only venture out if necessary. Tolerable if you have a safe, decent home, but families that don’t continue to see COVID-19 spread at an alarming rate. We were fortunate at Charlotte County Habitat to continue our mission of helping families achieve the dream of homeownership one family at a time. Our work wasn’t without interruption nor was it easy, but we managed to stay focused on the future of families in need. Our staff painted, cleaned and sanitized our office and all of our stores. We were able to make necessary improvements that were previously on hold. Please stop by and see our upgrades while supporting our mission.
Our construction staff continued to work on finishing homes while practicing social distancing and maintaining a safe environment. Our volunteers took a deserved break and returned after a two month pause. In all, we were able to complete and close 14 homes between March 24th and June 30th. Now these homeowners have a home to shelter their families from harm. We are truly blessed by and appreciate the incredible support we receive from the Charlotte County community. Please know we couldn’t accomplish our mission without you! In Habitat spirit, Mike Mansfield, CEO
