Habitat for Humanity Build #27
We’re excited to announce that St. Benedict Catholic Church will soon be participating in our 27th Atlanta Habitat for Humanity build! Kendra Dawes and her 13 year old daughter Imahn are excited to become homeowners. When we partner with Atlanta Habitat, we join them as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization by building quality, affordable homes. We are creating opportunities for working homebuyer families to thrive and to achieve many other dreams. Please considering joining us by volunteering on one of our Lenten build days. We will have wooden studs in the Narthex again this year for you to offer blessings and well wishes to Kendra and Imahn.
There are other ways you can help as well:
· Please consider donating to the Ash Wednesday 2nd collection to help our Parish cover the sponsorship costs for this year’s home.
· We are responsible for providing lunch for the 40 volunteers on 3 separate work dates. If anyone is interested in making/donating/serving lunches, please contact Glen Flamme (gcldll@yahoo.com or 404-217-7956).
· Finally, check out the bulletin and announcements for other parish opportunities still being worked out!
