This home was made possible by the Committee of 1,000 Members, dedicated volunteers, and loyal community partners coming together to give a hand up to the hardworking Rahming Family.

It is truly a blessing to witness the joy and gratitude of a Habitat homeowner as they welcome everyone into their new home.

Rahming Home Dedication today at 5:15 pm!

Athens Area Habitat for Humanity will dedicate the Rahming Family home on Tuesday, January 26th at 5:15 pm. The home is located at 100 Redfern Circle Bogart, GA. All are welcome to attend this outdoor dedication.

The dedication ceremony celebrates the completion of the house and thanks the countless volunteers who gave of their time, talents, and materials to the build. This home is partially funded by the efforts of dedicated 2008 and 2009 Committee of 1,000 members.Membership funds directly contributed to Athens Area Habitat’s ability to provide a decent, affordable place for Diala Rahming and her four girls to call home.

New Habitat homeowner Daila Rahming and her four girls are looking forward to moving into the home they helped to build. Rahming supported the construction of her home by contributing 500 sweat equity hours working at the job site along side volunteers and staff.

After the dedication ceremony, the Rahming Family kindly invites you to tour their new home and enjoy light refreshments.

A View From The Builder: Tom's Blog

Well the big day finally arrived as half of Athens took part in the annual MLK day of service. Habitat's project was to rehab the landscaping at a house which was recently donated to help end substandard housing. We had 12 bright smiling faces to show up on what may be the best workday of the year (weather wise at least). After raking and bagging what I estimate as 3 years worth of leaves, we found where the grass would grow if there were any light and spread new seed. Once we discovered that we only had enough bags for half of the yard, someone came up with the bright idea of constructing a large compost bin. Miraculously, all of the leaves fit perfectly. The planting beds were covered in new flowers and a quick power washing put the cherry on top of what was once a neglected yard. Thanks so much to those who showed up to give a little time to make a better Athens!
