Habitat for Humanity Plans Sept. 18 Home Blessing

The Rinella family at home

Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County will hold a blessing of its latest home on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 5 p.m.

Pastor Ron Brown of Calvary Bible Church in Hailey will offer prayers and remarks at the ceremony. A potluck supper at the church will follow.

Habitat earlier this year came to the aid of Jesse and Aby Rinella, who were about to sell their home at a loss after both became unemployed because of the economic downturn. Habitat purchased their home, made overdue repairs, and sold it back to the Rinellas with monthly payments that fit their budget.

Both the blessing and supper are open to the public. For reservations and directions, call 726-0610 or send an email to office@hfhblaine.org.

Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built, rehabilitated, repaired or improved more than 400,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than two million people. It was ranked as the sixth largest homebuilder in the United States with 6,032 closings in 2010, according to Builder magazine’s annual survey.

Habitat began operations in Blaine County in 2007.
