Habitat For Humanity Run/Walk |

PROVIDENCE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO SPONSOR SIXTH ANNUAL RUN/WALK TO BENEFIT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY COLUMBIA
Why? 100% of the proceeds of the
Habitat for Humanity Run/Walk goes
to support the Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity to build homes in the
Cayce/West Columbia area. An added benefit is to increase awareness of Habitat
for Humanity, a world-wide, Christian organization that works in partnership
with God and people everywhere to build decent, affordable houses in which
people can live and grow into all that God intended. Habitat for Humanity
challenges people of compassion to provide support - through tax-deductible
donations, no-interest loans and volunteer labor - to build or renovate simple,
decent houses for the inadequately sheltered. Construction is a partnership
venture between volunteers and future homeowners. Houses are sold at no-profit
and with a no-interest mortgage paid over a 15‑ to 25‑year period. House
payments are recycled into a Fund for Humanity used to build more houses.
Where? Start
and finish lines are at Providence Presbyterian Church, 1112 Hummingbird Drive,
West Columbia, South Carolina. The 10K and 5K courses run through the
vista-filled, friendly neighborhood behind Providence Presbyterian Church -
between Hwy. 378 and the Saluda River, along rolling hills, long creeks and
beautiful scenery.
