The Habitat for Humanity golf outing is July 21 at Snow Hill Country Club.

Lunch begins at noon with a shotgun start set for 1 p.m. The alternate weather date for the event is July 28.

This outing is critical to the organization’s charitable efforts to build affordable secure housing in Clinton County.

Many are mistaken that Habitat for Humanity gives away free homes. Deserving families and individuals who qualify for the program repay a no-interest loan to the Habitat for Humanity organization.

Most homes cost between $50,000 and $70,000 and homeowners have a mortgage. Most recently, our county organization celebrated its very first mortgage completion.

The homeowners’ payments combined with charitable contributions allow the group to continue to build new homes for the next deserving homeowner.
