Groundbreaking held for three new Habitat for Humanity homes
0207HABITAT5
A group of Habitat for Humanity of Hall County supporters make their way to a lot in the Copper Glen subdivision Monday afternoon for a groundbreaking ceremony for three new homes. The three Habitat homes are all sponsored in part by proceeds from the 25th Medical Center Open Golf Tournament.
The three families still have a way to go until they reach home ownership. But the dream got closer as they stood on top of a hill Monday evening, pitching dirt on empty lots that will soon feature modest but sturdy homes in Habitat for Humanity’s Copper Glen subdivision. Speaking after a groundbreaking ceremony, Joe Byrd thanked God as he talked about his own difficult financial circumstances — a cancer diagnosis in 2014 — that led his family to getting involved with Habitat.
