Dunwoody Methodist Volunteers Help Raise Two New Habitat Homes

Dunwoody United Methodist Church volunteers will help break ground on two southwest Atlanta Habitat for Humanity homes on Saturday, April 6.

Two young sisters are the buyers for one home, and one of them has a newborn. A close-knit mother and son are the second home's buyers.

These will be Dunwoody UMC’s 21st and 22nd Atlanta Habitat for Humanity builds.Funds raised during the 2012 Dunwoody UMC Holiday Festival will help pay for the construction.

A total of 22 other United Methodist churches from metro Atlanta are also participating in the groundbreaking. Construction will continue for consecutive Saturdays, ending with dedications of the houses on May 18.

This year Dunwoody UMC will be joined by members of other Methodist churches in the Atlanta Roswell District: Bethelview UMC, Birmingham UMC, Christ UMC, Chamblee UMC, Hickory Flat UMC, Johns Creek UMC, Midway UMC, Mt. Carmel UMC, Mt. Gilead UMC, Mt. Pisgah UMC, North Forsyth UMC, North Springs UMC, Northbrook UMC, Orange UMC, Roswell UMC, Sandy Springs UMC, Sardis UMC, Shiloh Canton UMC, Shiloh Cumming UMC, Simpsonwood UMC, St. James UMC and Winters Chapel UMC.
