Habitat gears up for carnation sale

OXFORD – The 14th annual Chenango County Habitat for Humanity’s Red Carnation Sale is going on now through January 21st. The sale raises funds to support Chenango County Habitat’s current project, a house being built at 7 Adams Street in Norwich, and future projects. If you don’t have a volunteer in your area, orders for red carnations can be taken by Audrey Johnson at 843-6249 or Joyce Ardron at 843-9747 in Oxford.
Red carnation prices have not increased over the years- they’re still $1.50/single; $7/half dozen; and $12/dozen. Distributions and pick-ups will be on Saturday, Feb. 10 and Monday, Feb. 12 – just in time for Valentine’s Day bouquets for sweethearts.
The current housing project in Norwich is being constructed with James and Ainekisha Mutabiilwa, and their two children. James is known around Norwich for his work with the Chenango Tobacco-Free Coalition’s Youth Action project. Chenango Habitat partnered with the Mutabiilwa family who has to invest 350 hours of “sweat equity.” It is the policy of Habitat to have partnering families, actively involved in various aspects of the construction, fund raising, and related areas.
Habitat for Humanity offers “a hand up, not a handout.” Buy red carnations for sweetheart day and help Habitat make dreams come true by helping to provide decent, affordable housing to families, and make your sweetheart happy at the same time!
