Summer Recap
Despite another famously hot Columbia summer, our hard working construction team and volunteers did not cool off building and repairing homes. Our 2023 Women Build was completed and concluded with a large Home Dedication for homeowner, Jazenia, and her family.
We also made significant progress towards completing two additional new homes, completed repairs on two existing homes and began repairing four additional homes.
In July, sponsors and the Habitat Board of Directors had a great time building and decorating playhouses for children of Habitat homeowners during our first ever “Project Play House” event.
