Help Build First Presbyterian's 48th Habitat House

On Saturday, February 15th, volunteers will begin building FPC’s 48th Habitat house! On this day, the wall panels will be constructed at the Habitat warehouse (824 Memorial Drive SE, Atlanta, GA 30316) while the floor joists and floor decking are put in place at the house location (135 Polar Rock Road SW, Atlanta, GA 30315) Then that afternoon, the wall sections will be installed, and the house will take shape. After six more Saturdays of work (March 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, and April 5th) the house will be complete and ready for healthcare supervisor Kendra Dawes and her 13-year-old daughter Imahn to move in. 

The construction of Ms. Dawes’ home is made possible by the repeated generous gift of an anonymous donor and the work of volunteers from First Pres and partner churches: Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Cascade United Methodist Church, Haygood Memorial United Methodist Church, and St. Benedict Catholic Church.

Working on a Habitat house is a most-rewarding experience and one you will want to repeat. Volunteering forms, develops, and strengthens friendships and enables home-owning families to thrive for generations to come. Each workday includes a nutritious lunch and all tools being furnished by Habitat.
