Holmes County Habitat for Humanity Holds Groundbreaking for Next Home
While Habitat for Humanity normally builds its homes with a combination of professional contractors and experienced and novice volunteers, Habitat has contracted with Ivan Yoder Builders to have this home built. "By hiring Ivan Yoder Builders, we have accomplished two things that were very important to us as a board,"stated Deb Berner, President of Holmes County Habitat for Humanity. "We will get another partner family in to their home more quickly and, we will be supporting an excellent local contractor who has also supported our Habitat affiliate for years."

Update on Mann Build
August 30, 2009 - Holmes County Habitat for Humanity has made great strides over the summer on the Mann home, located just outside of Nashville. Between Cal Yoder leading the build and the volunteers and Melody Sindel finding the volunteers and helping with the design, all seems to be moving right along.
We would like to thank all of those who have helped so far and encourage new volunteers to contact Melody at 330-674-0896. We owe a big thank you to the Nashville United Methodist Church for providing lunch each Saturday. In addition, this build has progressed nicely thanks in part to The Hummel Group sending their employees to volunteer each Wednesday. When people come together to reach a common goal, good things are sure to happen and this has proven true on this build.
We continue to provide simple, decent, affordable housing to those in need in Holmes County.
Ready for Volunteers on Mann Build
Holmes County Habitat for Humanity has been busy getting their most recent home under roof. Volunteers are needed for the Saturday workdays beginning July 11. If you would like to volunteer, that would be great! Laborers are needed as well as groups to provide lunch and provide devotions. Please contact Habitat's volunteer coordinator
at 330-674-0896 if you would like to help out.
The home is being built in partnership with the Lance & Deb Mann family and is located at 6274 Township Road 219, Big Prairie. While the home has a Big Prairie address, the home site is actually east of Nashville, just ¼ mile down Township Road 219 (see the map in our current projects section.)Ivan Yoder Builders has offered their expertise on this build and the house will be framed by mid-June. They will continue to help in other aspects throughout the build and we owe them our gratitude.
If you help our Habitat Affiliate in any way, thank you for all you do to help provide simple, decent affordable housing to those in need in Holmes County.
