seek volunteers for Habitat for Humanity 'blitz' house

Two Fayette County

churches are seeking volunteers to give of their time,

skills, food to be supplied to the worksite and/or

building materials to "blitz build" a home for

the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity during the

week of July 23-31.

Members of

Providence United Methodist Church in Peachtree City and

Fayetteville First United Methodist Church are teaming up

with other churches in the Atlanta area to build the home

in Trinity Park subdivision just north of Fayetteville.

Construction, from start to finish, is expected to be

finished within a one-week period. The churches expect

more than 250 volunteers to provide labor and support to

the effort.

"This

blitz gives us the opportunity to put our faith into

action right here in our own community, said Marla Brack,

team leader at Providence. "The house we build will

help a low income family break the cycle of poverty and

put them on the road to financial and personal

independence."

Doug

Higgins of Fayetteville First adds, "A lot of us

don't realize that many of our fellow citizens in the

South Metro area live in substandard housing. This

outreach allows us to work together to make a

difference."

Volunteers

from individuals and businesses are still needed. For

more information or to volunteer call Brack at

770-487-5570 or Higgins at 770-473-9400 (work number).
