We have been extremely grateful to have volunteers come and finish work on the houses we are building here in Starkville. Our volunteers were eager to help with the beginning steps of building a new home while others were excited to put the finishing touches on another house. Our staffers were up bright and early to start the process which requires much attention to detail in order to ensure that the volunteers will be safe. The Martin Luther King Junior (MLK) Day of Service takes place annually and lasts for three consecutive days. We were very proud to see the hard work and talent that these individuals have put into their service. The Starkville Habitat for Humanity organization would like to send a big thank you to the MSU Volunteer Center for giving these awesome students the opportunity to work with us. As Dr. King once said “Everyone can be great because everybody can serve.” No matter where you are, service CAN be done.

This year, you can make a difference in our community by taking advantage of the tax incentives written into the CARES Act. Everyone can deduct the first $300 they donate, even if they take the standard deduction. Those who itemize deductions can give up to 100% of their adjusted gross income.  Both of these tax incentives are unique to this year and expire on December 31, 2020. Talk to your financial advisor about how this applies to you. Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity needs your contribution to continue providing homeownership opportunities to needy families. Help us build homes, communities, and hope.
