“In addition to marking the completion of the house, this event honored all of those individuals, organizations and churches whose generosity of time and money have helped make this house a reality,” said Jackson County Habitat affiliate president Gordon Wilson. “It celebrates a deserving family’s new home, and the miracle of what can be accomplished through commitment and caring.”
During the dedication attended by friends and many of those who worked to make the house a reality, the Rev. Fred Wilson of Homer Baptist Church blessed the house. Habitat board members presented Ms. Horne with bread for a pantry that is always full; sugar for a sweet life in her new home; and a penny for continued prosperity. She also received a hammer used in the construction of her home, along with a Bible signifying the blessings that made the build possible.
