LOWER LAKE, Calif. — Habitat for Humanity Lake County has helped another family achieve its dream of homeownership.
On Saturday, Oct. 2, the Cimina-Jeffers family became the 38th family to be welcomed into their new home as part of Habitat for Humanity’s Homeownership Program.
Staff, volunteers and family gathered to celebrate with Heidi Jeffers, Dave Cimina and their children. The home was made possible by the generous donation of their lot to Habitat for Humanity Lake County by Sharon Bianchi.
As part of the dedication festivities, Grocery Outlet Clearlake donated household supplies, groceries and a gift certificate to help the family transform their new house in Lower Lake into a home.
“Everyone has worked so hard to make this happen; there were times we thought it wouldn’t work out but Habitat’s perseverance and encouragement helped make this real. We’ve struggled for so long. Now we have a home, our children have room to grow, we’re not crowded … it’s an unbelievable relief,” said Jeffers.
“They deserve this,” added Cimina, referring to his family. “We’re so grateful to Habitat for this opportunity. We’re appreciative of everything everyone has done. And we thank Grocery Outlet for the generosity too. It’s a big help.”
