Dominion, Fluor Donate to Fluvanna Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity
in Fluvanna County announced today that it had received $50,000 from the Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Richmond-based
Dominion Resources, and Fluor Corporation based in Irving Texas.
The money provided by the two companies will allow Habitat to
construct two houses this year in the county for needy families. In addition, Dominion, which is building Bear Garden Power Station
in Buckingham County, and Fluor, the engineering-construction firm hired to build the station, will provide materials and volunteers
to help complete the houses.
“Our goal has been to construct two homes a year in Fluvanna County,” said Habitat President Mike
Himes. “With the downtown turn in the economy, we have not been able to reach that goal for the past few years. Thanks to the generosity
of Dominion and Fluor, we will achieve our goal this year.”

Habitat Seeks “Covenant” Relationships with Local Churches
Chances
are, there are already a number of people in your congregation who already support or have a strong interest in Habitat for Humanity. Becoming a “Covenant Church” is a great way to solidify your intentions to be in partnership with Fluvanna Habitat. It enables
Habitat to plan, knowing what types of support to expect from local congregations in the coming year. It also gives the covenant
churches a strong sense of supporting God’s concern for the economically disadvantaged, in helping low income families get into a
decent home with an affordable mortgage. To find out more about becoming a covenant church and what it means, click here.
