Thanks to the

efforts of Delta employees, Fairburn now has five more Habitat for Humanity

homes.

The workers

built the homes starting in the middle of September and finished their

labor of love earlier this month.

In order to

complete the task, the workers had to have some "fuel" to keep

the walls being built and the floors finished.

That's where

the members of the Delta Pilot Wives' Club lent a hand.

Vauna Bellury,

who handles publicity for the club, said the women in the club juggled

their busy schedules to make sure the workers had meals to help fuel their

efforts.

"We had

to have meals ready for anywhere between 80 and 100 people a day,"

she said.

Since many

of the women in the club work, Bellury said it took a big effort to pick

up the food from various locations and get it to the workers in a timely

manner.

Some of the

women also cooked, and brought their homemade offerings to the workers,

who were appreciative of the efforts.

"We just

wanted to do something for what we feel is a very good project,"

Bellury said.

So far, Delta

has constructed 11 Habitat homes in the community, and Bellury said more

are on the way.

When the hammering

starts again, you can rest assured that Bellury and her group will once

again be on site to hand out food and drinks to the workers.

"This

whole project benefits the community in so many ways," she said.
