GROUNDBREAKING
CEREMONY MARKS BEGINNING OF NEW CHAPTER IN LOCAL FAMILY'S LIFE
January 14, 2008 -- Building on their dream of homeownership, the Morales
family will celebrate the groundbreaking for the construction of their new home
- and the community is invited to join in on the fun! The celebration
begins at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 27
at the construction site of their new home; 75 Hallock Street, New Haven, CT. Local
Habitat for Humanity representatives and Sleeping Giant Build members will
speak during a short program.
The construction of this home is the result of several organizations
and individual people, coming together from across Hamden, North Haven and New Haven to build not only a house, but
community as well. Sleeping Giant Build was formed to coordinate the efforts of these people and provide
the means by which volunteer labor, donated material and financial
contributions raised are directed towards our build home. Sleeping Giant Build is actively seeking donations from the community to reach its fund
raising goal of $50,000.
