It started with a shovel and a shared prayer. When Pickens County Habitat broke ground with Easley Presbyterian Church earlier this month, it wasn’t just the beginning of a build, it was the beginning of a deeper commitment to serve families in transition. This partnership goes beyond construction. It’s about showing up with faith, rolling up sleeves, and making space where stability can take root. Read how one groundbreaking became a living example of faith in action and what’s coming next.

It looked like a simple open house, balloons at the door, cookies on the counter, neighbors stopping by. But what unfolded inside this newly built Habitat home was something deeper. From hand-painted room signs to custom artwork gifted by Clemson Art students, every detail was a reminder that home is more than shelter. It’s memory-making. It’s belonging. It’s community in action. This wasn’t just a celebration of construction, it was a celebration of connection. Read the full story of how a build site turned into a home, and a moment turned into something unforgettable.
