Habitat For Humanity

Outside The Box Construction is proud to be the construction partner for the Bartow County Habitat for Humanity and the city of Cartersville. The Bartow County Habitat for Humanity received a grant from the Georgia DCA (Department of Community Affairs) to build six houses in the downtown Cartersville area. Outside the Box Construction was chosen to be the general contractor for these builds. In building these houses we hope to create a home for six families that they can be happy in. When we are considering what is going to go into these houses and what it takes to build a house, we are making efforts to make the house both energy efficient and sustainable. We would not want to build a house for a family and then have the utility bills above their reach so that they could not afford or would struggle to afford to live there.

We are asking for those who have been blessed to donate and give what they can to this effort. We are accepting donations of building materials, home furnishings, and much more. Even if you dont think you have anything to give, give of yourself, donate your time and the joy you receive will overflow beyond what you could imagine.

Even though Bartow Habitat has received this grant, it doesn't go to their everyday operating costs, it only covers the building costs of the six homes. So it is very important for donations to still be made to their offices in money or item donations to the ReStore. It is up to our community to support an organization like this that does so much for individuals and families in our community that just need a little help.
