Samford University and Alagasco will help dedicate a Habitat for Humanity house in Irondale Monday (MAY 6) at 3 p.m.

Ground was broken March 4 for the four-bedroom home. A total of 72 Samford students, faculty and staff worked about 700 hours to complete the project. The new homeowners, David and Janet Woodard and their three sons, also contributed many hours of "sweat equity" in the form of labor on the house.

Samford and Alagasco partnered to provide labor and funds to support construction of the house. The house is Samford's second Habitat project. Last year, the school provided funds and labor to build a home in Fairfield.
