Congratulations to the Habitat for Humanity International affiliate in East Pasco County, Florida, which is celebrating its 50th Dedicated Habitat Home. Fifty Families are now living in affordable housing in East Pasco County because of the dedication of the original 48 community members. These interested citizens met on March 5, 1994, at the Trilby Methodist Church to consider affiliation with Habitat for Humanity International. The first groundbreaking for a new Habitat home was February 14, 1995; and the first dedication for that new Habitat home was April 29, 1995. The concept for Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. There are now more than 100 countries in the world that have been impacted by the original concept of Millard and Linda Fuller, providing a "Hand up rather than a hand out."
In 13 short years, East Pasco Habitat for Humanity has managed to attract multitudes of volunteers, donors, benefactors, and dedicated community leaders to provide 50 affordable houses for eligible Habitat homeowners. These dedicated, volunteers come from local, regional, state, national, and international origins. We hear the terms RV Care-A-Vanners, Collegiate Challenge, Women's Build, Blitz Build, Global Village, and just plain volunteers in ReStores, recycling efforts, and educational presentations to interested churches, civic organizations, and schools. In addition, many in-kind donations of time, talents, and treasures have assisted to complete the mission of Habitat for Humanity International though its active Habitat affiliates throughout the world.
Habitat for Humanity International through its affiliates works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with God's people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow into all that God intended.
