Habitat for Humanity of Dubois County Officially Begins New Habitat Home Build

FROM LOCAL SOURCES

JASPER -- Habitat for Humanity of Dubois County broke ground on its latest home build project over the weekend.

The site is along Birk Drive in Jasper.  

“We couldn’t be more excited for Jaime and her family getting started on this home,” remarked Executive Director Michael Richard. “The amount of people both at the ceremony in person and watching our online stream show the pride and excitement friends, family and the community have for this home build.”

This will be the eighteenth home built in Dubois County over Habitat’s 25 year’s history and the first in Jasper in several years. This particular home will be built through a new partnership with Patoka Valley School Cooperative and Vincennes University-Jasper allowing area high students to get a hands-on joint build process with Habitat volunteers and school instructors. Right now, Habitat expects to finish up the project in January or February.

Volunteers of all skill levels are encouraged to join in some capacity, whether it be on a construction site, through fundraising efforts or at the organization’s ReStore located near the Dubois County 4-H fairgrounds.
