A family in the Big Lake area moved one step closer to moving into a safe, decent, affordable home of their own Saturday. That was the day of the Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity Big Lake Project Kick-Off at Saron Lutheran Church in Big Lake. The project is part of part of a national home-building alliance between Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity International.
The opening ceremony featured the Big Lake Ambassadors, Mayor Laurie Kampa and State Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer along with representatives from Thrivent Financial and Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity. Korrin, a Habitat homeowner, shared her inspiring story of the transformational power her home has had in her life.Following the Kick-Off ceremony, there were games and
face-painting for the kids as well as a coloring contest. Local musician, Joel Hagberg, entertained the crowd, and food and refreshments were sold to raise funds for the project.Volunteers are still welcome to get involved in this exciting new project in Big Lake. For more information on volunteering, call our office at (320) 656-8890 x3. We look forward to working together to eliminating poverty housing in Central Minnesota.
