Dining for Jackson Working to Help Habitat for Humanity

Please join us on January 2, at 11:30 a.m. in the Mission and Fellowship Center of Sylva First Baptist Church as we work to help Habitat for Humanity. Bring a covered dish and enjoy the fellowship of folks with a heart for helping those in need in Jackson County. 

Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. 

They partner with people in our community to help folks build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With your support, Habitat homeowners are able to achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. 

This organization relies on gifts from folks like you to help families in need of decent and affordable homes and all donations of any amount are deeply appreciated.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit Christian housing organization. All who desire to be a part of this work are welcome, regardless of religious preference or background. They have a policy of building with people in need regardless of race or religion and they welcome volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds.

Their mission is to put God’s love into action and to bring people together to build homes, communities and hope.  

The principals of Habitat are 1) to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ, 2) to focus on shelter, 3) to advocate for affordable housing, 4) to promote dignity and hope, and 5) to support sustainable and transformative development.

So please come dine with us on January 2 and help this wonderful organization as they work to provide folks in need with a decent place to live. You will not only enjoy a wonderful meal but you will hear about the work Habitat is doing in Jackson County and you can become a part of making great things happen for those in need.
