Habitat building in Winamac; volunteers needed

WINAMAC - Starke/Pulaski Habitat for Humanity is seeking volunteers for construction of its newest home at 712 S. West St. in Winamac. Work will begin Saturday (Aug. 9) and continue on Saturdays thereafter until the project is complete. 

All types of volunteers are needed to help with framing, general labor, clean-up and preparing meals for the work crew. Donations of materials – from a box of nails to lumber - also are needed.

Construction volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. No prior building experience is required as there are on-site supervisors to provide hands-on training. Volunteers may bring their own tools or use tools provided.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing organization. Habitat homes are built by all volunteers and sold to low-income families at no profit. The homes are financed with affordable loans, and the homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build more Habitat homes.

This is the fifth home constructed by Starke/Pulaski Habitat for Humanity. Ray and Raychel Davis will be the new homeowners of the residence currently under construction.
