The Heart of Habitat

Jessica Jeter, daughter of Rev. Dr. DeWayne and Kimberly Jeter, is the events and fundraising coordinator for York County's Habitat for Humanity.

The Taylors, S.C., resident got her start with the organization while attending Wade Hampton High School in Greenville, S.C., and carried her love for volunteering and helping others to Rock Hill when she began attending Winthrop.

While she has been unable to participate in many builds herself, the junior political science/economics double major said she is looking forward to her first one, most specifically the excitement and enthusiasm that comes with helping others.

"It's really just the excitement and the spirit that is actually on the build site," Jeter said.

This slide show displays the spirit, sweat and heart that goes into building a Habitat for Humanity home.

As Jeter put it, York County Habitat for Humanity is small but it is one branch of a large tree of similar organizations devoted to providing housing for low-income families.

The slide show includes pictures of a recent build by York County Habitat for Humanity in Clover, S.C.
