Our first Building Dreams BBQ Bash was a success! We raised almost $33,000 for our two current home builds in Hanahan and Moncks Corner! Thank you to our event sponsors: Sumter Utilities, Pinnacle Financial, Northpoint Development, SC Federal Credit Union, and Home Telecom. A huge shout out to the City of Hanahan for the use of the Hanahan Amphitheater, to Swig & Swine for the amazing barbeque and oysters, and to DJ Terry Base for the great music! We appreciate everyone who came out to support our mission to build safe, affordable housing for The Evans and Harrison Families!
3 weeks, 5 colleges, 58 students, 3 Campus Staff, 275 ReStore Volunteer hours, and 1254 Construction Volunteer hours = lots of laughs, many memories, new bonds, and much accomplished in our ReStore and on our two current home builds! Students from Concordia College, Boston College, Catholic University of America, University of South Florida, and Denison volunteered their time during their Spring Break making an impact in our community! Thank you Aldersgate UMC, First Presbyterian Church of Moncks Corner, and Victory Baptist Church for hosting the students. A huge shout out to KFC in Moncks Corner and Goose Creek, Publix, SAJACK Properties, and many other local Habitat volunteers for feeding the students during their time with us! To The Evans Family, Tia Harrison, and Mona Marshall, we appreciate you taking time with the students to share your Habitat Journey!
Mortgage Pay off!
LaShawn Simmons and her family applied for the Habitat Homeownership program in November 2001 and closed on thier home in August 2003, making them the 6th homeowner with Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County. LaShawn has been diligent with her payments and recently paid off her mortgage early! Congratulations to LaShawn for this tremendous accomplishment!

Sherlle Humphrey's college career was put on hold until she could find affordable housing in a safer community for herself and her daughter. After closing on her Habitat Home in 2017, Sherlle was able to enroll in college and has now graduated from Trident Technical College with her Associate's Degree in Applied Science! Congratulations to Sherlle! We wish you much success!
