Habitat for Humanity Press Release
About the Project
Nothing makes Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country (HFHCC) happier than to see a project through to completion. At the first of the year, an application was received from an elderly woman concerned with the condition of her porch. She was unable to leave her home after becoming wheelchair bound. Her back porch had become so rotten it was no longer safe and had become a hazard. After reviewing her application, she qualified for the A Brush With Kindness Program.
Working with a local contractor and multiple volunteers, the unsafe porch was removed and a new porch was built and stained. This project was Habitat’s 53rd A Brush With Kindness project. The homeowner was very excited to get out on her porch for sun and fresh air and Habitat was delighted to assist in making her home safer.
About A Brush With Kindness
A Brush With Kindness is a critical home repair program designed to help residents maintain healthy and safe living conditions. It also seeks to establish pride within communities and families living in Carbon and Emery counties. The program provides the upfront costs for home repairs, including materials and labor. The families then repay the loans through affordable, no-interest monthly payments. HFHCC is a resource to the community and operates as a hand-up, not a hand-out.
Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country cannot thank our volunteers enough for donation their precious time. Community support, volunteer labor and great prices from local businesses keep this great program running.
We would like to thank the Sorenson Legacy Foundation, the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, Wells Fargo, Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, Utah Association of Realtors and Sutherlands for their support. Without the sponsorship of these organizations as well as donations from locals and vendors, Habitat for Humanity would be unable to help deserving people in need of home repairs. We are always looking for motivated volunteers to help Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country.
HFHCC is registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization for which cash and in-kind donations are tax-deductible. Donations may be made by mailing checks payable to “HFHCC” to PO Box 724 Price, UT 84501.
