Home Dedication

March 22, 2010

Habitat for Humanity of North Central Iowa dedicated the fourth Thrivent Builds home in our service area located at 1636 North Pennsylvania Ave in Mason City, this is the new home for the Roppe family. 

Local volunteers led by Thrivent Chapter Specialist, Steve Meyer, and Habitat construction supervisor, Chuck Myhre, have been working on this home since last summer.  The NIACC Building Trades class, volunteers from area churches, and work teams from local businesses including Wal-Mart, Principal, Target, Best Buy, and the NIACC Girls Volleyball Team were instrumental in the construction of this home.  This home even served as a volunteer get-together for a large family reunion.    

Home Dedication

February 18, 2010

This home was one of the first two Habitat homes to be built in the Cerro Gordo area. It was donated back to the organizaton a couple of years ago. After having renovations and repairs made, it is now the new home for a local father and son who were flood victims four times, most recently in June 2008 in Mason City.

Home Dedication

December 3, 2009

The home dedication was a joyous celebration that was long awaited by the Harthan family, and just in time for the holidays! Many hours of volunteer construction were put into the building of this house by members of the Clear Lake Evangelical Free Church and Jeanie's family. This was the first Habitat house to be built in Clear Lake in the last ten years. The lot was donated by Tim Stenberg and Joshua Homes, Inc.
