Badin family moves into Habitat house built on Alcoa land

Layota Tillman and her two daughters will be celebrating Christmas this year in a new house built by Stanly County Habitat for Humanity. The house, built in West Badin on two lots donated by Alcoa, was formally presented to the Tillmans at a dedication ceremony on December 7.

“We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this home a reality. Alcoa donated the land and a hard-working team of volunteers worked together to make the Tillmans’ dream of home ownership come true,” said Cemita Gibbs, Executive Director of Stanly County Habitat for Humanity. “It is a true blessing.”

This is the 43rd home built by Stanly County Habitat for Humanity.

“It has been so rewarding to work with Habitat for Humanity on creating a new home in West Badin,” said Nicole Wright, who coordinates Alcoa Foundation grants in Stanly County. “Habitat for Humanity does great work in our community and Alcoa employees were proud to contribute to the success of this project.”
