Campbell/Harris and Davis Families Groundbreaking Ceremony Over 50 people came out to support Fauqiuer Habitat as we broke ground for the first duplex at Sterling Court. Roseanne Campbell and Tracy Jo Davis, along with their daughters Shentelle and Sierra, symbolically turned shovels of dirt as prayers were read. Our dearly departed Bob Taylor's church choir finished the day with a beautiful rendition of "O Give Us Homes". Thank you to everyone who attended, and congrats to the families! |

Sterling Court Clearing On Thursday, August 21st, we began clearing the Sterling Court property in preparation for the extensive site development work. The clearing is being done by Green Waste Recyclers of Culpeper, VA, a company that grinds all usable material taken from the site and turns it into mulch. We expect the clearing effort to take 2-3 weeks barring unforeseen weather delays. |

FHfH Helps Unload a New Hope House On June 4th, a team from FHFH drove to Hagerstown, MD to help the Washington County HFH unload their 11th New Hope Construction house. The house was off-loaded from the truck in just under 3 hours under threatening skies, but once again, prayers held back the rain. Severe storms hit the area later in the afternoon. |

Fauquier Community Child Care summer camp: A day with Habitat On June 23rd, Aubree and 15 Highland School students ventured to Bradley Elementary School to play some Habitat related games with 120 kids (ages 5 to 11). The kids engaged in activities such as "Building a People House", Habitat bingo, welcome home cards for homeowners, word finds, and more. Thanks to FCCC for having us, and to Highland for being such a great help! We will join FCCC twice more over the summer. |

Shed Building Workshops Bill Mercer continues to lead the enthusiastic volunteers to build shed panels for the Spring Festival on May 16th. The panels will be put together at the festival so the public can get a taste of what we do here at Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, and then the shed will be raffled off to one lucky winner! Thanks to Bill and all the volunteers. |

Habitat Workshops Each month Fauquier Habitat offers two workshops to help volunteers young and old learn or refine skills in building. These are skills that they can use not only at Habitat builds, but also in their own homes. The first workshop is held at Home Depot, where we use a classroom to teach "lessons" and do demonstrations. Here, participants can become familiar with tools, procedures, and tricks of the trade. Safety is another big issue we discuss in these workshops. Volunteers can then take what they've learned to our follow-up workshops at the FHFH warehouse in Warrenton. Here, they can try their hand at everything from framing a wall to pulling wire to using power saws. Anyone age 16 and older is welcome at workshops, but you must be at least 18 to work with power tools. For dates and info please check the calendar, or contact our office.
