Most of us are fortunate enough to take having our own home for granted. Many, even in Plano/Collin County, are not so lucky. For many, home ownership is the major step that turns their family and lives around from lives of dependence to independence.
Every house that is erected by the volunteers we have all seen, in the news and on television, begins with a fundraising effort to buy the materials that the volunteers assemble under the guidance of experienced HfH project leaders. Seton, through its HfH Team, along with other churches and local corporations raises funds and provides volunteers to for Habitat projects.
Learn More About the Habitat for Humanity Program Below. Also posted below are Build Updates and Photos of our Current and Past Builds.
Habitat gives a "Hand Up, not a Hand Out" - Recipients contribute "Sweat Equity" hours and purchase the "interest free" home, which in turn helps fund future home projects.
The Seton Habitat Team supports the Collin County Habitat for Humanity organization, which handles many of the details (i.e., site selection, screening potential partner families, major construction, such as concrete and roofing, city permits and inspections, among other items.)
Watch Habitat of Collin County webpage for build day updates!
Each year a number of Seton parishioners and Plano businesses donate food/lunches during the build days. If you are interested participating in this way please contact Jeri Phillips jphillips@eseton.org (Seton Habitat Staff Liaison)
