You can see first-hand how people in your community support affordable housing in Door County one swing of the hammer at a time. Door County Habitat for Humanity is hosting an open house on Wednesday to showcase the home and the people behind its construction. Earlier this year, the organization began work on Home Build #49 at 864 Cherry Court in Sturgeon Bay. Abigail Newman and her son talked about what it would mean to have a home to call their own.
Executive Director Lori Allen said earlier this summer that the volunteers are what helps the organization facilitate positive change in the community.
The open house will also feature key volunteers and community leaders who have helped make Door County Habitat for Humanity’s work possible for the last 30 years. During that time, the organization has built 49 homes and made 120 home repairs, impacting nearly 500 people, including 176 children. The open house will take place from 2 -5 p.m. at the site of Home Build #49 on Cherry Court in Sturgeon Bay.
