Three new Habitat for Humanity homes will soon be coming to Badin, thanks to a land donation made by Alcoa Power Generating Inc. (APGI).
APGI has
donated three vacant lots in Badin to Stanly County Habitat for Humanity. The
organization expects to begin construction of new homes on these lots later
this year.
“Alcoa’s partnership enables Stanly County Habitat to
continue our mission that everyone should have a decent place to live,” said
Cemita Gibbs, executive director of Stanly County Habitat for Humanity. “With
these additional lots we will be able to give a ‘hand up’ and provide a no
interest mortgage for additional families in our community. Alcoa is a
corporation that sees the unique role home ownership plays in the development
and resiliency of our community and we feel they are committed to helping make
a difference.”
Alcoa has been a long-time partner of Stanly County
Habitat for Humanity. It has previously donated two lots in Badin and a pickup
truck to the organization.
“We’ve seen what a positive impact Habitat for Humanity
makes in our community and we’re delighted that we can play a part in providing
new homes to deserving families,” said Nicole Wright, APGI Foundation Coordinator. “Our employees look forward to
volunteering on the construction of these new homes.”
