Habitat for Humanity of Bedford County
Helping Families Build Homes for Stronger, More Stable Communities
When this organization is thought of, most people think of building homes. This is only one part of the organization.
Habitat for Humanity of Bedford County is redirecting it’s focus to preservation of homes. Some repairs may seem small and mundane, but no job is too small. For example, spouting and water drainage issues can cause significant damage to the foundation of a home, causing erosion. For this reason, take great consideration in repairs of these types of issues.
Without a good foundation, the integrity of the home is in jeopardy. Our first project of 2024, was a home preservation project that was a huge success and has added in preserving to their foundation supporting this home. While also bringing the volunteers and board members together to work as a unit to compete this project.
While being a new board, we are reinforcing the foundation of our mission. Welcoming our 30th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity of Bedford County, we wish to continue this needed work in our county. Please feel free to contact our office with questions, referrals, or to help with our next project!
We will update our Facebook page with project dates and upcoming events. Volunteers make great things happen!!
