Workers from ABS Plumbing repair a water main for Cheryl Lalkus of Moses Lake. The work would have cost her $6,500 that she didn’t have, Lalkus said, but Habitat for Humanity was able to help her cover it.

Habitat for Humanity’s Brush with Kindness helps with needed home repairs
MOSES LAKE — Habitat for Humanity is known for building new homes, but last year the Moses Lake chapter focused instead on repairing existing ones. It was so successful they’re doing it again this year. “We’re still on the fence on whether or not we’re going to build,” said Habitat for Humanity of Greater Moses Lake Executive Director Rebecca Mabius. “We want to build, because building homes is one of our main missions. But the home repair program allows for individuals to stay in their home. We’re able to help more families than just a single family.”
