The Egan family at the dedication of their Habitat home on Oct. 19, which marked the 30th family to participate in the
Habitat for Humanity project in Florence.
Florence Habitat For Humanity re-
cently celebrated with Megan Egan and
her family as her new home was dedi-
cated.
On Oct. 19, Mike Harklerode, FHFH
Board president, welcomed Egan’s fam-
ily and friends, Habitat volunteers, do-
nors and neighbors to the celebration.
The Egan home on Nopal Street has
been “refreshed” as the 30th Habitat
residence in Florence after the previous
homeowner relocated out of state.
Following a thorough selection pro-
cess in summer, Egan completed “sweat
equity” hours by working with Habitat
volun-teers in painting, repairing and
completing landscaping projects.
Her two sons and her grandmother
will share the home.
Egan expressed her gratitude to “ev-
eryone who supported (my) dreams and
helped make them a reality.”
Janell Morgan, Habitat Executive Di-
rector, acknowledged the generous con-
tributions of the Florence Elks Lodge,
