Student Achievement with Cans for Habitat Program

Congratulations to a special young man, Matt Mooney, for achieving a 2007 goal of more than 10,000 pounds of aluminum cans collected and sent to the recycling center to frame the 50th Habitat House for East Pasco Habitat for Humanity. His R.A.C.E. T.E.A.M. partners are his Mother and Dad, Jane and Wayne Mooney, who networked, partnered, and collaborated with members of the local community to achieve their son's special goal: A HAND UP RATHER THAN A HAND OUT for a deserving Habitat for Humanity eligible family. The Dedication of this 50th Habitat House will occur on March 1, 2008.

Matt's ultimate goal is to collect enough aluminum cans by his senior year in high school to fund the costs of a complete Habitat House...approximately $65,000 or more for a worthy and needy Habitat for Humanity family. With his continued perseverance and community support, he will reach his goal and make history for the 100th affordable Habitat for Humanity House in his community. Cans for Habitat makes cents for Matt and his Mother and Dad. Let us join Matt in his endeavor and to recruit more young persons in our community to assist this R.A.C.E. T.E.A.M. Habitat Project. Matt Mooney...you are an inspiration and an exemplary example to all in our community. CONGRATULATIONS!
