They are nearing completion of the Habitat Rehab project at 1206 Wemple Street in Parkersburg! There have been so many hands in play making this rehab possible, and they couldn't have kept it affordable without the assistance of our volunteers, sponsors, and donors. The homebuyers, Matt and Melissa, will soon be ready to sign their mortgage now that they have worked extremely hard on completing 300 hours of sweat equity in our program!

Please join us on Tuesday, July 7th for the Home Dedication ceremony at 5:30 pm or walk through the home prior during the open house from 4:30-5:30 pm. During the dedication ceremony, we will acknowledge sponsors, volunteers and funding that helped make this project possible as well as provide the opportunity for the community to share well wishes or housewarming gifts to the family. We hope to see you there!
