The Jackson County Habitat for Humanity is raffling a children’s playhouse to raise funds.
Playhouse raffle to raise funds for Habitat house
The Jackson County Habitat
for Humanity is raffling a chil
dren’s playhouse to raise funds
for the construction of the coun
ty’s eighth Habitat house.
The ten by eight foot play
house features a front porch
with carriage lights, and dormer
windows with window boxes
filled with pansies. Construction
of the house was supervised by
Stan Beeco, owner of Beeco
Construction and a Jackson
County Habitat board member.
“Each house we build, even
taking into account donated
materials and volunteer labor,
requires about $45,000. We felt
that the playhouse would be
a great way for us to use our
Habitat building experience to
make something that children
would enjoy and their families
would be proud of, and in doing
so help build a real house that
will provide a family in need
with a decent place to live,” said
Jackson County Habitat presi
dent Gordon Wilson.
The house is on display in
front of the Jefferson offices
of Jackson EMC on Commerce
Road.
Raffle tickets for the house
are $10 each and can be pur
chased at the following loca
tions: in Jefferson at Jackson
