Habitat for Humanity

habitat-logo1The AACA celebrated their 30th year anniversary by building a house with Habitat for Humanity. $40,000 was totally funded and built by AACA members and helpers. The project started in July 1999, and continued every Saturday through the hot summer months until completion in October. The house was built in coordination with the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity.
