Sample flavors of the world to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Waldo County

Habitat for Humanity of Waldo County will host “Taste of the World” on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Waldo County Shrine Club, Northport Ave., Belfast. There will be cuisine from around the world to sample, and Eric Nation will be speaking about his experience with Habitat for Humanity in Africa. Tickets are $15 each, or two for $25 and are available at Mailloux and Marden Law Offices, 151 High St., Belfast or by calling the Habitat office at 338-2344. There will also be some available at the door the night of the dinner. Come with us on a culinary trip around the world, and help support a great cause at the same time. Guests are also welcome to bring their own beer or wine to the event.

All proceeds from the dinner and the auction will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Waldo County. We are currently looking for a partner family for construction of a home in Monroe, starting in the spring. We have completed construction on two homes in Waldo County and helped pair two families with affordable mortgages. We also manage a weatherization program in which we were able to reinforce eight homes in 2013 and six more this year.

Habitat for Humanity of Waldo County is a local Habitat for Humanity, International affiliate dedicated to the belief that all people deserve decent, safe, and affordable housing on terms they can afford. We build simple, energy-efficient homes for Waldo County’s eligible applicants with a spirit of hope and unity. The essence of Habitat for Humanity of Waldo County is inviting diverse individuals to find common ground through using a hammer and sharing a goal. We build relationships as well as houses, along with the pride in service, homeownership, and community.
