Work on Hedinger's New Home is Nearing Completion!

July 16, 2010 - We've had some beautiful weather & some very wonderful volunteers the past couple of months and progress on the Silver Anniversary Habitat for Humanity house is moving along nicely. Under the leadership of Bill Nowers & Bud Dominick we are well underway. The drywall is finished. Work on painting walls and trim, installing flooring, installing baseboard and connecting wires is underway. The Corner Cabinet Shop (http://www.cornercabinetshop.com/) in Orange is donating the kitchen cabinets and will be installing them next week.

If you can volunteer a day or two to help please give Bill a shout. Email him at wmnow25@comcast.net or contact us at OCHFH@ochfh.org..

Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization that brings people from all beliefs and backgrounds together to build houses in partnership with people in need.  People of many different beliefs demonstrate their faith by working together to build.  People of faith can support the work of Habitat through prayer, making lunches, offering devotions, raising funds and providing labor for house building.

Orange County Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization partnering with low-income families to help provide them safe, decent and affordable housing. Homes are built using volunteer labor and donated materials when possible. All partner families put in sweat equity working on their homes and the homes of others, as well as working for the betterment of the community. Homes built by Habitat for Humanity are then sold at 0% interest to the partner families. The donated labor and materials help keep the cost of their houses in the affordable range.

Partner families are given a hand up, not a hand out. You can help Habitat and help alleviate poverty housing by making a donation of cash, goods or services to Orange County Habitat for Humanity. You may even help yourself if your donation qualifies for tax credits.

Since its founding Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses around the world. Habitat is a nonprofit Christian housing ministry that works to both eliminate poverty housing around the world and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action. People from all walks of life work in partnership to build houses with families in need.
       The need for decent housing in America and around the world is staggering. Habitat believes that all people deserve a simple, decent place to live on terms they can afford to pay.
       Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.
        Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.
