CARES Act Tax Incentive

by

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.

12th Annual Maroon Edition Groundbreaking

by

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held Monday, August 3, for the 12th annual Maroon Edition Home.  The Maroon Edition Home is a special collaboration between Starkville Habitat and Mississippi State University.  This year’s Maroon Edition home will be called the Matt Savage Maroon Edition in honor of Captain Matt Savage, U.S. Army, a former Starkvillian who was seriously injured in a traffic accident in 2018.  Captain Savage’s attorney, Wayne Rogers, made a generous donation to Starkville Habitat in Matt’s honor.

Congratulations to homeowners-to-be Chadrick Robinson and Santana Turnipseed and their children Kimona, Harmony, Rolando, Caitlyn, and Chadstyn!
