Senator Smucker Joins In Habitat For Humanity Dedication Of Homes

A family moving into a new home is always cause for joyous celebration.  Two families moving into two homes doubles the excitement.  Home ownership is a fundamental piece of the American Dream.

But these two homes are special in their construction.  Habitat for Humanity brings out and combines the best of our generosity and spirit of contribution.  We are grateful for the individuals and businesses who recognize the needs in our own backyard and quietly do something to meet those needs.

When we donate dollars to a good cause, we feel better, but are often unsure what the real result is.  Those who donate their labor and their skills get to see the physical result and the spiritual result.  There is pride, for those who give and for those who receive.  The key opens the door to a home, but it also opens doors to opportunity and respect.

These structures are concrete evidence that faith builds a firm foundation.  Here, faith abounds.  Faith in families.  Faith in a neighborhood.  Faith in the value of a lasting contribution.

Many had a hand in this effort.  We are truly blessed to have such giving individuals as part of our community.
