Valdosta Habitat For Humanity Staying Busy
Monday, June 3rd, 2013
Valdosta-Lowndes County Habitat for Humanity paired up with volunteers Saturday to begin the construction of a new home at 806 York Street.
“We have about 25 people here and on staff, we have three construction workers and me that come out every Saturday and work on the houses,” said Habitat’s Volunteer Coordinator, Donnie Radney. “This is actually a home that is built for the city, so it’s not actually a Habitat home and we are basically contracting the house and we just do it as Habitat.”
On Saturday, the volunteers included men and women from Moody Air Force Base, who come out several times each year to assist Habitat.
Habitat for Humanity on average builds anywhere from three to five homes a year. With their most recent property located on 406 Troup Street completed, Radney has confidence that Habitat will be able to construct a successful number of homes this year.
