We are so thankful for the Members of Berkeley Electric Cooperative who participate in the Operation Round Up Program. By rounding up your monthly electric bill to the next dollar, your generosity funds home repairs and community services within the the BEC territory. These funds are administered by the Berkeley Electric Trust Board, whom awarded $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County for our current home build in Moncks Corner! For more information about Operation Round Up, visit berkeleyelectric.coop/operation-round.
BEC also partnered with Berkeley Habitat and future homeowner Tia Harrison on April 19th to plant an energy saving tree as part of their Arbor Day Program! We appreciate BEC for their continued support!
This month marks the end of an 11-year career for Krystal Oliver with Habitat for Humanity. Krystal started out as a volunteer with Habitat at a very young age. She then became a ReStore Associate, promoted to ReStore Manager, and has ended her career with us as our Vice President of Operations. The lives that she has touched and made an impact in cannot begin to be counted. She transformed our ReStore and allowed us to build more homes because of it. Krystal was an integral part of our team and a wonderful leader. She will truly be missed. From all of us at Berkeley Habitat, we wish her nothing but the greatest success in the next chapter of her life. She will always be part of the Habitat family. Thank you for all you have done to serve those in need of affordable housing.
Congratulations to future Habitat Homeowner, Tia Harrison, for graduating from Grand Canyon University on April 25, 2022 with a Bachelors of Science in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Work. While earning her degree, Tia, a mother of two teenagers whom works full time, has also been putting in her Habitat Sweat Equity hours and is getting close to the finish line! Tia is an inspiration to her children, family, and community! We are so proud of Tia for her hard work and look forward to seeing all the great things to come for The Harrison Family!
Whether it is working in the ReStore or on a build site, helping in the Administrative Office or at an event, Berkeley Habitat appreciates all of our volunteers who give their time and talents to our mission. We ended our week long celebration with our volunteers with a picnic at the John McCants Veterans Park in Goose Creek! We are grateful for your giving hearts to help others have a decent, affordable place to call home.
