Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity in partnership with sponsors from First Church of Christ Congregational and St. John’s Episcopal Church (both of West Hartford) built a new home on Liberty Street in Hartford that was dedicated on Saturday, October 5, 2013. The groundbreaking for this project was just one year ago, and the construction began in earnest during the winter. Volunteers weathered bitter cold to complete the aggressive construction targets set by Habitat’s building team. The two faith communities came together to work side by side learning some new skills and providing much needed sweat equity to get the job done. Over the course of the build, volunteers committed over 600 hours to this project. The Woods family took ownership after going through Habitat’s homeownership program, and as mom Stephanie Woods said “I’m ready for the responsibility!” Please visit www.hartfordhabitat.org, www.whfirstchurch.org, and www.sjparish.net.
