KENNEBUNK — Habitat for Humanity of York County has received a $5,000 grant from the Corning Incorporated Foundation to assist with their 30th home building project located on Range E Road in Limerick.
The Juarez family, Sarah and three children, has been chosen as the Habitat Partner Family for the home in Limerick. The support from Corning Incorporated Foundation assists Habitat for Humanity in addressing affordable housing challenges in York County and helping families like Sarah’s build their own home in York County.
Habitat for Humanity of York County works with low-income families who show a demonstrated need for improved housing, a willingness to partner by completing “sweat equity” in the building of their own homes, and the ability to repay an affordable mortgage.
“Habitat partner families experience the life changing outcomes that affordable homeownership can create. Improved health, more educational opportunities, financial stability, confidence, and independence,” said Amy Nucci, Habitat for Humanity of York County’s Executive Director. “We’re so appreciative of the continued support and partnership of The Corning Incorporated Foundation.
The foundation is supporting both the new Limerick Build and the Kirk Street Build in Springvale which is nearing completion. Our thanks also to the employees from Corning Incorporated in Kennebunk who have volunteered to help build Habitat homes. This partnership is supporting our shared goal to build thriving communities,” Nucci said.
The Corning Incorporated Foundation is a charitable contributions organization established by Corning Incorporated in 1952. Through leadership and collaboration, the Foundation strives to foster vibrant, enriching, and supportive Corning communities. The foundation focuses on education, human services, culture, and volunteerism in Corning business locations.
Habitat has many opportunities to volunteer on the Limerick Build, at the ReStore, on special events or assisting with weatherizations.
Anyone interested in participating or donating to Habitat is encouraged to call the HFHYC office at 985-4850 or visit the website at www.habitatyorkcounty.org.
