Miromar lakes Community
completed their fundraising
to build a Habitat home for a
family in the Habitat program. In
addition to providing $50,000
to pay for the cost of materials
to build the home, they also
participated in the construction
of the home.
Residents tell us that this is
a great way for them to give
back to the community while
enjoying the socialization
that working together for
Habitat provides them. “We
enjoy working on Habitat
houses, but for those of us
who cannot do the building, we can become
involved through our fundraising efforts”, says Janis Wolfson,
Steering Committee Member at Miromar lakes.
