Habitat for Humanity

St. Mark's is pleased to be working with the Lycoming County Lutheran community and Thrivent on the most recent Habitat for Humanity home in Williamsport. The home, located on Memorial Avenue on the site of a fire destroyed home, is rising from the ground rather quickly as a result of help from both local and out-of-state volunteers.

On July 18, a small St. Mark's crew worked on the project. The original plan was to perform insulation work, but the project's needs changed, and so did our plans. The smaller crew, consisting of Todd Smith and Gary Weber spent the day on various small projects - necessary but not crew intensive.

The day's tasks included repair of siding and placement of a meter base, joist work, porch roofing, hauling dry wall, scaffold construction and back porch construction. A busy day ended with a tired crew - that was encouraged by the home's steady progress to completion.
