buffy-kathy-500.jpgHouse Dedication

Habitat for Humanity dedicated the fourth “Rescued Homes” project at 2935 N. Giddings on Thursday, January 28th, 2010. Kathy Lasota and her Daughter Phyllis “Buffy” Edwards have been working on their home with Habitat staff and volunteers for approximately10 months. The three bedroom, two bath house was one of five foreclosed homes purchased by Habitat through the City of Visalia loan fund in 2009. The City’s loan fund has been renewed for $250,000 giving Habitat the opportunity to purchase four more foreclosed homes in 2010. Thank you to all the partners and volunteers who helped with this project and thank you to Pastor John Walker from First Assembly of God for dedicating the home.
