A dedication ceremony was held Sunday afternoon by members of Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County to commemorate the recent completion of the fifth partner family home at 202 Hayes Street in Smithville.
Tia Adcock and her children Caven Ponder and Caitlyn Adcock are expected to move into the home soon. “I appreciate everything everybody has done for me. It meant a chance to give my kids a home. It means more to me than I could ever tell you,” said Tia.
The dedication ceremony included a consecration of the home led by Dr. John Carpenter of the Smithville First United and Bright Hill United Methodist Churches.
Committee and Board members of Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County gathered with the Adcock family and their friends for the dedication.
Larry Green, Local Habitat President thanked all suppliers, donors, and volunteers for their help in the construction of the home.
