TWO HOMES -- ONE WEEK! Habitat Pinellas still has a few volunteer slots open that we need to fill for our upcoming Blitz Build, February 10 - 19. Sign up today for this memorable event!
This year we have scheduled our Blitz Build during the week of Valentine’s Day, which is particularly fitting since our theme this year is “Home is Where the Heart Is!” What a wonderful way to celebrate love – helping two families build their new homes!
Join over 100 volunteers each day and help us transform two concrete slabs into two homes. In the utmost example of community and fellowship, Habitat Pinellas is holding its annual Blitz Build in Clearwater, Florida at our Stevens Creek neighborhood subdivision. We start Friday, February 10th and will conclude with the home dedications on Sunday, February 19th.
No experience is necessary! Each day you can choose to volunteer during a morning or an afternoon shift. * Please note: Blitz Build is a pay-to-play fundraiser.
NOTE: If you are having any problems with online sign-up, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Kevin Klucas at 727-536-4755, ext. 208, to sign up directly.
Many thanks to our two home sponsors!

Pinellas County Connection Television (PCC-TV) has provided us with wonderful video footage of more than 80 county employees helping with painting and landscaping for three of our Habitat homes in St. Pete. The video includes interviews of the homeowners and Habitat Pinellas COO Ron Spoor.
Each year, Pinellas County encourages its employees to volunteer for a day of service in honor of the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. Habitat Pinellas thanks the county employees for volunteering their services!
The three homes located on 23rd Avenue for the Clark, Eborda and Geneus families were sponsored "in memory of George Arnold and June Marie Gerlach." Including these homes, California resident Kathryn Fenton has sponsored a total of six Habitat Pinellas homes in memory of her parents.
The triple dedication of the Clark, Eborda and Geneus family homes will be held on Saturday, February 11th at 10:00 a.m. All volunteers and the general public are welcome to attend. (More details/directions)

With public offices closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, nearly 80 County employees spent the day volunteering at three Habitat Pinellas houses as part of the Pinellas County Employee Service Day.
The high turnout of Pinellas County workers included staff, administration and elected officials -- an embodiment of the spirit of public service these County employees embrace every day. The Employee Service Day gives them a chance to see firsthand the results of their community development efforts as they work on-site in programs like Habitat for Humanity.
