| Over A Hundred Homes Built....Hundreds of Lives Changed.
Find Out How You Can Help! |  |
What is Our Blitz Build?
During the week of October 11 - 18, 2008, Sumter Habitat for Humanity will be constructing four new homes
in our Fuller Gardens Subdivision. And we need YOU to participate! 2008 will celebrate our 6th Annual Fall
Building On Faith Blitz Build!
Our Blitz Build will be a unique partnership of local churches, businesses and local civic organizations joining
together to fully fund and build a house for local families….. As Jesus’ original disciples were charged with
spreading the word about Jesus, our partners are charged with assisting in Habitat for Humanity’s mission of
providing decent shelter for God’s children.
How Will The Blitz Build Work? |
|
|
 Every participating church, business or civic organization will
be responsible for providing a portion of the costs for materials
on the home and for providing several volunteers to come to the
worksite to help build the home during our build week in
October.
Its THAT simple. You will need to raise a little money,
recruit several volunteers to assist with the building, and
provide a liaison as a contact person and you’ll be ready! The liaison will work alongside our project
manager to see that this experience is full of joy and blessings for everyone involved.
Participating churches, businesses and civic organization are being asked to “adopt” a specific item toward
the construction of the homes. Items such as lumber, windows, doors, siding, cabinets, flooring, appliances
and more need to “adopted”. This will be a very high-profile event and all participants will be recognized
in media coverage & signage.
What Are The Responsibilities of Sponsors?
Here is a brief list of what each participating sponsor will be responsible for:
1. Select someone to serve as a liaison between your organization and Sumter Habitat for Humanity.
2. Raise the selected amount of money needed for the item you are “adopting”. The funding will not be
needed until just prior to construction beginning in October, 2008.
3. Promote the event within your church, business or civic group.
4. Recruit several volunteers to come to our worksite during the week of October 11 - 18, 2008 to pick
up a hammer and help us BUILD!

 What Will Habitat Provide?
We will provide the building site in our “Fuller

screened partner family to work along side you, who
will buy the home, once construction is complete.
Habitat for Humanity employs licensed contractors
who will oversee each phase of construction.
We will order all materials, have them on-site, and
will schedule all sub-contractors and inspections.
We furnish all the necessary tools and materials

the build, in addition to a special “Blitz Build”
T-shirt for each participating worker.
