(Habitat
for Humanity) now Darke
County Fuller Center for Housing
Fuller Center accepting
applications
for home improvement projects
December 18, 2011
Darke
County Fuller Center for Housing
is now accepting applications for needed home improvement projects. We are scheduling for this
next spring and
summer building season. The
Fuller
Center is named for Millard and Linda Fuller who were the original
founders of
Habitat for Humanity and formed a new mission based upon their original
covenants.
The
Fuller Center for Housing is a
Christian based non-profit housing program that not only builds houses
but does
home improvement projects for low income home owners.
The home improvement projects are called The
Greater Blessing Box Program and are based upon the Biblical principle
of “it
is more blessed to give than to receive.” The projects can be as simple
as a
new hot water heater or as elaborate as new roofing.
The
mission also rehabs houses for
home ownership as well as builds new homes as need warrants. There is an application
process and
applications are available at the Darke County Fuller Center Office at
440
Wayne Avenue in Greenville.
The
application process includes an
income review and evaluation of need among other considerations. For more information
please call John
Hensley, Executive Director, at 548-3635.
Our
Darke County mission began in 1992
with our affiliation with Habitat for Humanity and we have built
fifteen homes
and numerous other projects in Darke county.
Our new affiliation will allow the mission to
serve more of our people
in Darke County by focusing on upgrading substandard housing. Interested volunteers and
church groups can
also contact our office for information and project schedules. Members of the Ministerial
Association will
receive a packet with applications to post for their congregations to
distribute to those in need.
The
Fuller Center also maintains a ReUse
Store at 440 Wayne Avenue as our primary fundraiser, making donated
items
available to the general public at minimal cost.
