Dedicated!

The Casas family became the proud new owners of a Habitat for Humanity this past Friday! Members of Coldwell Banker, family friends and other volunteers all came out to witness Habitat hand over the keys to the Casas, who brought many dishes from south of the border to celebrate the occasion. Habitat would liek to thank Coldwell Banker for their hard work and dedication, both in fundraising and in manual labor, making this one of the quickest builds Habitat has ever had. Stay tune for updates on the next house!
