GOLDSBORO — Habitat for Humanity Goldsboro-Wayne celebrated a new homeowner closing on her home.
Keonda Pearsall dedicated her new home April 28, then closed on the purchase May 3.
Also, Habitat’s Spring Women Build began last week, as work began at 607 Marshall Street in Goldsboro. Each year, the Women Build events are among Habitat’s most popular community engagement programs and this year was no different, with more than 60 ladies joining May 4-6. Participants began work finishing the floor system and beginning to build walls. Click here to visit Habitat’s Facebook page to see more photos from the week.
Habitat is holding Women Build again this fall, Sept. 21-23. The location is TBA, but will be in Wayne County. Go ahead and register today! Want to bring a large group out from your business, church or other organization? Just email volunteer@habitatgoldsboro.org.
In the meantime, a Blessing of the Build ceremony will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, at 607 Marshall Street as we mark the beginning of construction on Griselda Avellaneda’s new home. Can’t make it? That’s OK. You can watch on Facebook.
