HABITAT TO CUT RIBBON ON 37th HOME

Habitat for Humanity of Utah County will be cutting the ribbon on its 37th Utah Valley home this Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. All interested community members are invited to attend. A continental breakfast will be served.
The three bedroom, two bathroom infill home, located 572 East 300 South, Provo, was partially sponsored by TD AMERITRADE, and was built with Brandon and Laurell Jackson and their son Owen. In addition to funding, TD AMERITRADE employees also donated hours of their time to help frame, side, and paint the two-story home. This is the first home to be completed in the local Habitat affiliate’s Brimhall Estates Infill/Rehabilitation Project.
