Build News The 2009 Spring Build was a great success thanks to terrific college and Care-A-Vanner teams that came to Leland to help us build. The local community also stepped up and showed our visiting volunteers Leland's famous hospitality. Thanks to all the local volunteers, civic groups, Churches, businesses and individuals who made the Spring Build happen! We are already planning for a special build March 7 - 20, 2010. Mark your calendar! Don't forget we still build every Saturday. If you as an individual or as a group want to volunteer, please contact us. We have jobs for everyone even if you don't want to, or can't, swing a hammer. Your support of Leland Habitat The Leland Garden Club joined forces with homeowner Frances Tuitt and the Care-A-Vanners to do some landscaping around Frances' home.

Future Plans

Thanks to Muffy and Andy Hammond of Apple Valley, Minnesota!! They gave a wonderful gift in memory of Andy's mother, Martha Hammond, which provided us with the opportunity to continue building houses in our community. Leland Habitat for Humanity has purchased additional property in the "New Town" community of Leland on Third and McGee Streets, and Collier Alley. There is enough property to build 12 new homes. We are planning for these homes now, and will build over the next several years. There were 13 shacks torn down (which recently had families living in them). The property has had plats made for each new house site. Click here for pictures. Leland Habitat needs your help in building these homes!! |
the progress on clearing the property and preparing house lots.
