The
Clay County Habitat for Humanity is an organization dedicated
to eliminating substandard housing and assisting those in need.
Using funds generated from donated items sold in their "Restore",
the CCHH is able to renovate houses and at times, build new homes.
"Since 1977 we have built houses in neighborhoods throughout
Clay County. Shelter is a basic human need, and Habitat strives
to achieve its goal of eliminating poverty housing and making
decent, affordable homes a reality for all families."
Working through a neighborhood, CCHH strives to revitalize a community,
thus increasing property value for all homes in the area. Using
both skilled and unskilled workers, the construction force is
comprised almost entirely of volunteers. Men and women alike roll
up their sleeves and work side-by-side embracing the spirit of
humanity, and giving back the community.
On
January 11, 2012,VP-62, stationed at NAS
Jacksonville, sent a group of seasoned professionals. They're
expertise, however, lay in the field of Anti-submarine warfare
and not so much in framing, hanging drywall or replacing floors.
It doesn't take long, however, to understand the need and pitch
in to help, whether it's holding a board or driving a nail.
Equally
impressive are the regular volunteers with the Clay County Habitat
for Humanity Construction and Restore facilities. Many of the
dwellings they refurbish are in serious need of renovation. Guided
by a team of highly skilled Team Leaders, various jobs are cpmplete
by an assortment of volunteers cycling through.
Regardless of the diversity of the volunteers brought together
on any particular day, or any particular project, the job runs
smoothly, quality work is produced and those in need are provided
an attractive, comfortable house they can call "home."
The
combine efforts of both the Restore and the construction crew
ensure the continued success of the Clay County Habitat for Humanity.
They will continue to improve the quality of life for a great
number of people. They will continue to make a difference.
