Home dedicated in memory of late Habitat employee

MATTHEWS – Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity will dedicate its third home built in memory of Sandy Marano.

Marano served as the nonprofit’s family services coordinator. She lost her battle with breast cancer in October 2016.

The dedication starts at 10 a.m. June 1 at 3519 Dion Drive. It will include a ceremony to thank community partners and volunteers who helped build the home as well as new homeowners Gabriel and Pauline.

Homeowners pay back a no-interest, affordable mortgage and volunteer over 400 hours of “sweat equity,” half of which must be on the construction of their home.

This will be the 108th home built by the Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity.
