How did you first get involved with Habitat? I was looking for a way to assist military veterans and their families with finding affordable and sustainable housing. I was impressed with the work that SCHFH was doing in my community, so I got my whole family to volunteer. I absolutely love my SCHFH family and look forward to doing more for all of the families we serve.

How did you first get involved with Habitat? I first became involved with Habitat 3 years ago through the Women Build program. As the local professional women‘s sports team, it was important to engage with the community organizations uplifting and empowering women. The Women’s Build initiative was a perfect fit, and everyone had a positive experience.
What do you like most about Habitat? What I like most about Habitat is it is people helping people who are helping themselves. Habitat homes are not handouts. The homeowners work alongside friends, family, and volunteers, creating communities they are proud of, communities they can raise families in and call home.

Community Involvement Member of the Morrow Civic Women’s Club, Church Member First Baptist Church of Morrow
How did you first get involved with Habitat? It was approximately 25 or more years ago when a home was to be constructed off of Warren drive in Clayton County. Since then I have worked on homes in the Albany, GA area with my church missions committee, First Baptist Church of Morrow, and later as the Habitat community grew, a group of us went to the new home of a 92 year-old great grandpa who had three people living with him. Our church surprised his family with everything someone would need in a new home. I have worked on Habitat homes in the Forest Park area, as well as other areas of Clayton County.
What do you like most about Habitat? We have enjoyed surprising several new homeowners with a welcome basket of items to get them started and I have enjoyed my numerous years of association with the Habitat community.

How did you first get involved with Habitat?When I was on Spring Break during my freshman year at Spelman College, my best friend and I were invited to participate in a Scavenger Hunt for the local affiliate in Dublin, Georgia as a fundraiser. A woman who I admired dearly, Carolyn Watson, was a board member and thought enough of me to introduce me to the mission of Habitat and the good works the organization did in providing homes for those less fortunate. Habitat has been on my mind since then. In 2004 when I was asked to join the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity I felt a since of purpose and fulfillment in being of service to others.
What do you like most about Habitat? The ability to positively effectuate change in the lives of other people. Those people we help are also helping themselves and other potential homeowners.
