GRAND FORKS — The Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity announced its first home dedication in six years.
This is its 32nd home build and, according to a release, the beginning of "many more to come in the near future."
The Shern family, as well as Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity volunteers, are excited to celebrate with a public home dedication open to all Grand Forks residents and anyone from the surrounding areas from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 24 at 958 Thames Ct. in Grand Forks. There will be a house tour, pizza will be served and Pastor Jared Clausen of Freedom Church will provide a blessing.
Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity's purpose is to offer "a hand up, not a hand out" to its residents struggling with rent or mortgage payment exceeding 30% of their income, according to the release, and almost 20% of North Dakotans live in poverty.
Those wishing to attend should RSVP at www.rrvhabitat.com or by e-mailing executive director Marisa Sauceda at marisa@rrvhabitat.com.
