Harbortown Rotary Habitat for Humanity
Submitted by: David A. Clanaugh, Executive Director; Western Lake Superior Habitat for Humanity
"Regional Rotary Clubs have been key partners in strengthening the Western Lake Superior Habitat for Humanity mission! Harbortown, Skyline, and Duluth Rotary 25 Clubs recently partnered on a $30,000 district grant to support a Habitat house project at 2412 W. First Street in Duluth. Superior 40 and Duluth Eco-Rotary have also helped with Habitat projects the past few years. Club members presented the check on Feb. 6 and also have been volunteering at multiple work sites.
Pictured are: (back, l-r) Jim Gruba (Harbortown and WLSHFH board member), David Clanaugh (Superior 40 and WLSHFH Executive Director); Todd Peyton (Skyline), Steve Yorde (Duluth 25); and (front, l-r) the Witherspoon Partner Family (Helina, Salaam and Josiah), Madeline Kvale (WLSHFH Community Engagement Associate), and Pat Finney (Harbortown). WLSHFH has two house projects in process and a third planned for later this year. Every hand helps -- visit our website at wlshabitat.org to learn more, donate, and volunteer."
