Changing Lives One House at a Time

Henderson County Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing in Henderson County.  Incorporated in 1989, Habitat has now completed 100 homes with a goal of 12 homes per year.  More than 20% of all households do not live in safe, affordable housing, with 44% of WNC jobs not paying enough to enable a family to rent a 2-bedroom apartment.  Through this fundraiser, Habitat desires to greatly improve those statistics in our community.
Together, we can do it!!

Flat Rock was the star over the weekend as part of the Celebrate Flat Rock festivities. There was free ice cream at Flat Rock Village Hall, music on the square, raku pottery demos in the parking lot beside Hubba Hubba all capped off with a Chuck Brodsky performance on the back deck of Little Rainbow Row. Hubba Hubba and Flat Rock Village Bakery donated baked goods which were sold to raise money to fund the final performance for the Summer Concert Series held the first Saturday evening of the month through October 3. Volunteers from the Flat Rock Merchants Association sold hot dogs to raise money to purchase Christmas items for families in need later this year. Check out the fun!
