Aberdeenn, NC, September 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Habitat for Humanity of Moore County is on the move and is introducing a new name to the community. The local Habitat affiliate will now be known as Habitat for Humanity of the NC Sandhills. The Moore affiliate has expanded its service area to include Richmond County and has built five homes in that county since 2005. With the new affiliation will come more opportunities to combine services and meet the needs for more families.
Habitat for Humanity of the NC Sandhills has built 156 homes since 1988. Five homes have been built in Richmond County since 2005 when the Moore County affiliate agreed to take the Richmond County under its wing to save it from being closed by Habitat International. Affiliates are required to complete, on average, one home a year.
“As an organization, Habitat for Humanity is tremendously blessed by a clear mission, dedicated partners and a well-established name,” Executive Director Elizabeth Cox said.
“One thing won’t change, though,” Cox stresses, “the mission. Building simple, decent houses in partnership with families desperately in need remains our No. 1 commitment.”
“The new name symbolizes the community spirit of neighbors helping neighbors,” said Amanda Jakl, Habitat’s communications coordinator. "Our emphasis is always people helping people and together we'll be able to reach out to many more families in need."
“The adoption of the new name is an important decision,” said Jakl. “It is a way to become a stronger, more unified and collaborative organization.”
About Habitat for Humanity of the NC Sandhills
Habitat of Humanity of the NC Sandhills was founded in 1988 by an inter-denominational group concerned about substandard housing, and it exists to serve Moore and Richmond Counties citizens living at 60 percent or less of median income who need suitable housing.
