Allyn business donates
plants to Habitat houses
The AG3 Garden Center in Allyn donated 75
trees and shrubs to Habitat of Humanity of Mason
County to be distributed to owners of local Habitat
houses.
The trees and shrubs are worth about $5,000, the
nonprofit group reports.
'Tee know that landscaping really makes a house
feel like a home, and we had the opportunity to do-
nate to a great cause, and we are happy to provide
Habitat homeowners with shrubs and trees," Kathy
Arnold of AG3 Garden Center said in a news release.
"Habitat's mission is to build simple, decent, af-
fordable homes," said Tammey Newton, executive
director of Habitat for Humanity for Mason County
in a news release. "In keeping the homes affordable,
we have a minimal budget available for landscaping.
This gift from our community partner to Habitat
families is wonderful."
The homes are sold to partner families at no
profit, and are financed through low-interest or no-
interest loans.
To be eligible, the family must have lived in Ma-
son County for at least one year; be willing to work
with Habitat for Humanity; have a steady gross
income of 30 percent to 60 percent of the current me-
dian for Mason County; be willing to work 400 hours
of"sweat equity" as a down payment toward the new
home; and be in need of a safe living environment.
Habitat reccently completed a house in Belfair,
its 23rd house. The group has started the ground-
work for house No. 24 in Shorecrest.
To volunteer or get more information on being a
pQtential Habitat homeowner, call 426-8134 or go to
