Sarasota Association Of Realtors Sponsors Habitat Sarasota Home

sar-habitat-buildHabitat For Humanity Sarasota Benefits From SAR Benevolence.

Habitat for Humanity Sarasota received a $25,000 grant from The Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Inc. The grant was made possible through the Sarasota Association of Realtors’ (SAR) Affordable Housing Fund.

sar-habitat-build“Several years ago the Sarasota Association of Realtors (SAR) established the fund for Affordable Housing. This year we have plans to work with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota on a TEAM BUILD Rehabitat.  We have allocated $25,000 from the fund for this purpose,” said Kathy Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, Sarasota Association of Realtors.

teresa-and-busTeresa Dixon, the Habitat Sarasota home buyer and a school bus driver for Sarasota County, came rolling into Huffton Circle in her school bus to greet the SAR and Habitat Volunteers to show her gratitude. Teresa, who grew up Kensington Park, will join the Realtor group again on April 23rd to accumulate more sweat equity hours.

SAR volunteers will be at the home site from April through early June to help renovate the Huffton Circle home in Kensington Park. Their participation will include demolition, landscaping, and painting of the home.

SAR volunteers will experience how they changed a life of a local family by working along the side of the family and getting to know them. Habitat homeowners are required to put in 300+ sweat equity hours in order to purchase a home through the Habitat program.

Working on a Habitat for Humanity Sarasota TEAM BUILD project is a great way to bring a group together to get to know one another, focus on teamwork, and serve the community while having a great time!

For more information on sponsoring a TEAM BUILD contact Renee Snyder, Executive Director at (941) 487.5525, rsnyder@habitatsrq.org or visit the website at www.habitatsrq.org.

    Thank you Sarasota Association of Realtors! More than 20 SAR associates volunteered on SAR kick off day at Huffton Circle. You got an amazing amount of work done last Saturday on “Demo Day”!

    Elaine Adair told me in an e-mail last Saturday,”I’m almost too wiped out to raise my arms to blow dry my hair! Anyway, everyone had a great morning and can’t wait to keep going on the SAR house. I hope Teresa and her family are as excited about thier new house as we are”.

    Now we know Mike Bruno can’t be stopped when it comes to removing old flooring! Thanks Blanda for meeting with Teresa this week on the hard surface selectins for her home. Cheers to all the SAR volunteers last Saturday! Oh yes, Cindi Shoe and Sarasota Catering will be providing delicious food for your group next Saturday, April 23rd. Thank you Cindi and Sarasota Catering!
