Long Line of Sandwich Wraps made to build Homes

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing 
organization, working in partnership with people in need to build and renovate simple, decent, affordable housing. Victoria House   reminds  us of the delectable bounties of Central Pennsylvania. One could  enjoy fine cuisine prepared with fresh, locally grown herbs, meats and produce. Union  Snyder  Habitat and Victoria Pub  worked in close partnership  to dish out 15 pounds of bacon  and  175 wraps  held together by  1200 toothpicks. And this turned out to be a 102 ft long sandwich wrap. The wrap was being wrapped by all the people simultaneously

The sandwich wrap   event was held   on the grounds   at Victoria’s in Lewisburg. It brought out a good crowd   for a noble cause. The objective was to raise money   to build affordable housing to local families. Housing is an essentially basic right for mankind. On the same grounds like the other two necessities food and clothing housing also   is crucial for  a civilized and balanced mankind habitat.

Tom Rambo   the president of the Habitat   said that they wanted   a event which would help them reach out to the needs of the community. The goal of the   world record event organized by   Union Snyder Habitat was to impart good, quality and at the same time affordable living   for the people at the same time   the help benefits the entire community at large.

Breaking Ground, Breaking Records is intended to promote Habitat partnerships and raise awareness and support for the organization. Proceeds from the event will be used to build safe, affordable homes for local families in need. Rambo admitted  that many local Businesses stepped up to support  the event which was carried out in partnership  with Union Snyder and Habitat. Rambo further added that the  event was a reality because of the cooperation and backing of sponsorships of local businesses who also harbor and nurture  the mission of the Habitat.  He   specially thanked Vic's Pub, Blaise Alexander Ford, SUN Orthopedic Group, the Son's Power, CITGO, and Susquehanna Valley Hearing Professionals for being sponsors of the event.   Habitat's goal is to fulfill the dream of home ownership with simple, basic homes for families in need. The organization has partnered with 18 families since it was founded in 1991. The rules read out that the families must be able to pay a no-interest mortgage and commit to 250 hours of "sweat equity, by helping with construction of their own home and working on future affiliate projects. They also must complete a home ownership course.  It costs about $80,000 to build a Habitat home. Families pay back Habitat through interest-free mortgages, and payments are put in the Fund for Humanity or future home construction.  Volunteers complete the majority of the labor to build the home.
