Heart of Iowa Habitat for Humanity will celebrate their successful launch into Guthrie County this weekend.

Since expanding into the county earlier this year the organization has completed Helping Hands home repair projects in Guthrie Center, Panora and Stuart. Associate Director Jeff Lamoureux says he thinks they can do even better next year. “We’ll probably try to do a few more projects, now that we know we’ve had success in them and know that the volunteer base is there. We know that people are willing to come out and help us and I think we can up that number for next year.”

Lamoureux will tell us more about their plans for the future and talk about open house celebrations happening this weekend, today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
