LEWISTOWN To meet the challenge of raising funds with limited human interaction due to the coronavirus, Mifflin County Habitat for Humanity volunteers have produced handmade, limited edition, numbered and dated Habitat House Ornaments, available for a suggested minimum donation of $20. The house ornaments are available at various locations as well as though the local Habitat website and by mail.
Like many organizations and businesses, Habitat for Humanity of Mifflin County has been challenged by how to engage in fundraising events for 2020 as a result of community health concerns. Despite this, Habitat is still hoping to begin construction on their next house in 2021, providing sufficient funds can be raised.
