“There is great joy in working with others to help people in need of decent housing.”\u009d
\nSteve Scharfenberg<\/strong>, Gadsden-Etowah HFH co-founder and volunteer for\u00a024 years.<\/p>\n

“I raised my hand to help, and life hasn’t been the same since. I don’t know how many years I have left. These are the final chapters of my life, and I want to do things that matter.”\u009d
\nIrving Hall<\/strong>\u00a0of Albuquerque, N.M. a Habitat volunteer and house sponsor.<\/p>\n

“You will be in heaven before you realize the impact you’ve had today.”
\nBishop Kenneth Ulmer<\/strong>\u00a0of the Faithful Central Bible Church in Los Angles, CA, addressing volunteers at the 2007 Carter Work Project.<\/p>\n

“Home is a place that centers you!\u00a0A child needs to be nurtured, and nurturing takes time and attention. Unfortunately, the more sophisticated our world becomes, the less time and attention a child gets. “Home” to a child means much more than a roof over this head.”
\nSidney Poitier<\/strong>, actor<\/p>\n

“I dug dirt, laid brick, hung sheetrock, hammered, painted, roofed and best of all, and came to the reality that there are wonderful, selfless people still existing in this angry world. I felt love for me and my children. My experience with Habitat for Humanity has led me on a wonderful, memorable adventure that showed me that my philosophy of aiming high and working hard will lead to success.”
\nApril Walker<\/strong>, Gadsden-Etowah HFH homeowner #4<\/p>\n

“It’s so addicting to be a part of something you can actually see being accomplished. After a show, sometimes you think, “What proof do I have that that actually happened?” On a Habitat build site, you have that evidence right there in front of you.”\u009d
\nTim Foreman<\/strong>, bassist for the pop-rock band Switchfoot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
