This Sunday, March 9th, Habitat for Humanity will dedicate its 141st home to Marc and Lauren Pelfrey and their 18-month-old son Maddux. The home is a new energy-efficient home in the Brandenbrug subdivision in Fairview.
This home was part of the Habitat High program. Over 600 Williamson Co students raised the $70,000 needed for the build and helped with the construction over the course of several weekends.
“The beauty of Habitat High is that even as high school students, we are able to band together with other Williamson County Schools to raise money to sponsor a house build. Habitat for Humanity helps others in ways they cannot help themselves. It provides a hand up for families with a dream of raising children in a safe home with a stable environment. Every day, I’m increasingly filled with gratitude for the privilege to be involved in such an amazing charity. One person cannot build a house, but a community of people can build a home,” said
Rachel West, a senior and co-president of the Brentwood High School Habitat High chapter.
The Pelfrey home dedication begins at 2pm Sunday. Please contact Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County at 615-690-8090 if you need directions to the event.
