Gratitude

Hi everyone. My name is Jana and I started working with the HERO House in June 2009 and became a full time staff member in January 2010. My experience over the last nine months has been very positive and exciting. Our team has set goals for the year and we are constantly refining our community in an effort to provide the best possible environment for our residents to achieve long-term sobriety. Throughout this process, I have realized how grateful I am to work with such a dedicated and supportive staff that genuinely cares about the impact they make in our community. I would like to say THANK YOU for providing me with such a wonderful opportunity. Jana Pearce, Program Coordinator

Hero News:

Open House – March 12 11-2pm. Please take the opportunity to come meet our staff and visit our facility.

Family Weekend March 2010 Friday – Graduation. Congratulations to our three residents for completing the program! Saturday – All day workshops for family and residents. Sunday – individual sessions available upon request.

Collegiate Challenge is Habitat for Humanity’s year-round alternative break program that provides opportunities for students from youth groups, high schools and colleges to spend a week of their school break building a house in partnership with a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the United States. A Collegiate Challenge trip may be the best school break trip you will ever have. Not only do you help people in need — it’s also fun!

The HERO House recognizes the power of a truly alternative break, giving students the opportunity to not only have a great time on an affordable trip, but to do so while making a difference. Participants will enjoy being able to clearly see the impact their hearts and hands can have on a Habitat for Humanity house and its host community in just one week.

We look forward to taking our residents on this service trip. While in Augusta, not only will we work with Habitat, we will explore the culture and history of this enduring city. We will set aside the time for 12-Step Meetings in the Central Savannah River Area. We look forward to our HEROes becoming heroes for the week in Augusta!
