Construction began on our 33rd home in Marion County on March 5, 2012 with our 14th annual Collegiate Challenge build.  The home is located at 209 W. Mullins Street, Nichols, SC (corner of Battle Street & US Hwy 76).

A ceremony was held on June 7, 2012 to dedicate our 32nd home built in Marion County since our founding in 1994. Herbert and Angela Brunson of Sellers, SC are the proud new Habitat homeowners!

Marion County Habitat for Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build decent, affordable family housing. The houses are then sold to our partnering families at no profit and with no interest cost.

Volunteers provide most of the labor, while individual, church, civic and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partnering families must invest 300 hundred hours of labor ("sweat equity") into building their homes and the homes of other potential Habitat homeowners. Habitat homeowner mortgage payments go into a revolving fund. Those funds are then used to build more houses.
