HABITAT DEDICATES HOUSE #19
Honesdale, PA – Another family in our community can now lay out their ‘Home Sweet Home’ welcome mat thanks to the work of Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County.
After months of hard work, the dedication took place on Saturday, November 7th in the new home. Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County’s President, Mark Graziadio, welcomed everyone to the dedication and stated, “This really shows you what can happen when people come together and have common focus and care about people and want to help people.”
Chrissy Noti and her two children, Emily and Joey, have started their move into their new home. "We're going to be all together. It's going to be brand new. It's not a fixer-upper. I'm truly blessed," said Noti, who was sharing a room with her daughter through the recent years.
The family was presented with a Bible from St. John’s Lutheran Church, quilt, American flag, mailbox and voter registration form, show shovel, homeowners manual, and plant. Lastly, the family was presented with the keys to their new home by Connie Petraitis, Habitat Board Member.
Many volunteers put in countless hours to make these homes possible for residents of the Wayne County community. Fundraisers and events are held throughout the year to raise funds for the builds, including a gazebo build and raffle in the summer of 2014, an annual 5K in August, and an annual dinner in February. You can find more about local fundraising events on their Facebook page, Wayne County PA Habitat for Humanity.
This year, Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County is celebrating their 25th year of providing a decent house in a decent community for God’s people in need. As they look forward to future projects, volunteers are welcomed. For more information, please call 570-470-0930.
