Habitat for Humanity of Dubois County will dedicate its 18th home in Dubois County on Sunday, Jan. 31. Join Habitat for Humanity online for the dedication ceremony at 3 p.m., streamed live on the Habitat for Humanity of Dubois County Facebook page at facebook.com/DuboisHabitat.

This year’s home was built through a partnership with Patoka Valley School Cooperative and Vincennes University Jasper to support the efforts of high students looking to enter the local workforce by having a joint-build process with Habitat volunteers, school instructors and students. Student participants learned and practiced skills from the classroom in a real-world situation and were able to be part of something they help build that will last.

Celebrating its 25th year anniversary in 2020, HFHDC has a mission of providing a “hand up” to people in the community to acquire and own decent and affordable housing, both through new home builds and home repairs.
