InterFaith Build Framing Blitz 9/9/10

Habitat for Humanity in Mobile County will hold a framing blitz on Sept. 9th from 8am-4pm at Biloxi Street in the Hillsdale neighborhood. This framing blitz is for the InterFaith Build house, where faith partners throughout Mobile County help sponsor and build the house. The homeowner of the InterFaith Build house will be Ramona Taliaferro.

The faith partners involved with the InterFaith Build will work together to provide financial support and total volunteer labor to build the house. The mission of this build is based on Habitat’s “Theology of the Hammer” – seeking to bridge the theological differences between faiths by putting love into action.

Taliaferro and her son live in a family home that was damaged by fire in 2004. They live in two rooms of the house with no utilities or plumbing; the rest of the house is closed off and not fit to reside in. She and her son are excited to be Habitat homeowners and are eager to complete their sweat equity hours and partner with Habitat Mobile.
