Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. A branch of this Christian ministry has been active in our community for 23 years. Last week, there was a ribbon cutting for a home that now belongs to a married couple and their young children.

“It took a lot of patience and faith,” said a local board member of Habitat for Humanity. “Faith made the impossible, possible.”

The project began nearly three years ago. An old cabin was donated to the Habitat organization. The inside was renovated and squared up. An architect drew up plans to add an extra bedroom to the cabin. Through many volunteer hours, the project was completed.

Philanthropy is a mean to nurture spirituality. We don’t want to do other people’s work for them, but as the board member said, “It’s not a hand out, it’s a hand up.”
