For Abigail and Evan Newman, having a home to call their own is becoming a reality because of your generosity.

The Newmans took part along with Door County Habitat for Humanity officials and volunteers on Tuesday in a groundbreaking ceremony held at the home’s future site on Cherry Court. Truth be told, the Newmans have not missed a chance to be the at build site since excavators first dug the hole a few weeks ago and volunteers started to pour the concrete footings shortly after that. It goes beyond the sweat equity hours required of Habitat partner families, but an act of appreciation for the opportunity according to the Newmans.

This marks the 49th home build for Door County Habitat for Humanity in addition to its home repair and ramp efforts throughout the area. Build days are Tuesdays and Thursdays and volunteers to both help with the build and to cover the crew’s snacks and meals are appreciated.
