Samantha is a student of Business Management at Allegany College of Maryland with the goal of starting her own full-fledged photography business someday. Samantha says, “ Photography is a passion of mine because it allows me to express my creativity while capturing the beauty of a moment.” After finishing school, she plans to obtain a decent management position within a company, as well as put more time towards building her photography business.

Samantha will be working with Habitat Board Members and Executive Director, Brenda Bomblosky. A few of her projects are to help with fundraising, creating a brochure for the Bedford Habitat as well as helping with other business administrative projects.

HABITAT IS LOOKING FOR A PARTNER FAMILY FOR THE NEW HOME TO BE BUILT IN 2019

Habitat for Humanity, a Christian non-profit organization, partners with people in the community to help them build or improve a place they can call home. At this time we need your assistance in finding a Partner Family for a home to be built in 2019. Habitat’s “Partner Family” helps build their home alongside volunteers.

Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. Building homes helps generations and also the community. Materials are purchased locally and skills are taught to volunteers. It helps a person give back to the community. It is a “hand up” not a “hand out.”

The Partner Family agrees to put many hours of “sweat equity” into the building and construction. This can be done through a variety of opportunities including office volunteering. The home is built with a lot of volunteer hours and donations of money and materials. The family pays low, affordable monthly payments to cover Habitat’s operating expenses.

Habitat presently owns a lot in Everett, PA, and hopes to break ground soon. There is an application and specific guidelines and criteria to be met to be approved for a new home. If you know a friend or family member who may qualify, please call 814-624-3443 and leave a message.

Jeff Swope has been chosen as the new Partner Family for a home to be built in 2017. Jeff is retired from the military since 2002 and is in need of better, affordable housing. The home site is located in Saxton on a lot that was donated by Wells Fargo. We look forward to working closely with Jeff and his family in helping to provide an affordable place to live.

With the new year starting, please take a moment to reflect on how blessed you are and open your heart to those who would love to have the basic things we take for granted. Like a home to call their own. We sincerely ask that you make either a monetary donation or donate an item to be auctioned at the Fundraising auction & dinner. We truly appreciate all of you who have supported our mission in the past and are asking again for your generosity. Our goal is to raise $50,000 so we can break ground for the new home in Saxton.
