Habitat For Humanity of KC One of Two In SC Participating In Major Program

This fall, Kershaw County HFH will take part in Habitat for Humanity International’s first-ever Rural Rally. The initiative will highlight the need for affordable housing in rural America and will be included as part of the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. The Carter Work Project is Habitat’s flagship build honoring the profound impact President and Mrs. Carter had on Habitat for Humanity’s mission worldwide. This year’s Carter Work Project will take place during the last week of October, bringing together thousands of volunteers to build 25 homes on the east side of Austin, Texas. Alongside the project’s signature large-scale build, the new Rural Rally component will support home builds and rehabs in more than 60 rural communities, stretching across at least 20 states and all regions of the U.S. Kershaw County will join the Rural Rally with their 50^th house build during the last week of October in Camden. Kershaw County is one of only two sites participating in South Carolina.    Details on activities happening during the week will be released soon. To get involved with the project as a volunteer or sponsor, please reach Julie Trott at 803.432.4333.
