<p><strong>St. Helena Island</strong>is an important place for <strong>LowCountry Habitat for Humanity.</strong> The first house constructed by LowCountry Habitat in 1991 was on <strong>St. Helena Island </strong>and is currently part of a working farm. Homeowner <strong>Sara Reynolds'</strong>vision is to encourage local youth to understand and appreciate the agricultural richness of St. Helena Island. It is her ongoing mission to teach principles of sustainability and self-sufficiency.  She currently serves on LowCountry Habitat’s Board of Directors.</p>

<p><strong>Historic Penn Center</strong>was instrumental in helping LowCountry Habitat obtain land for four houses built on <strong>Paulik Place.</strong>These homes were sponsored by volunteers from <strong>Dataw Island, Fripp Island/Harbor Island, Spring Island </strong>and the <strong>Women Build </strong>project. In the near future, we will begin building another home on St. Helena Island for a hard-working family in our community.  </p>

<p>Another link between the residents and businesses on St. Helena Island is the upcoming <strong>UpCycled Art Auction</strong> at 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, at the <strong>Frissell House at Penn Center. Partners and sponsors will gather </strong>to enjoy a Lowcountry Boil provided by <strong>Boondocks Restaurant </strong>while bidding on many works of art recycled and reimagined from selections at the Habitat <strong>ReStore.</strong>  Live auctioneer <strong>Deanna Bowdish </strong>will present some remarkable items while others will be available for silent auction bids.  An UpCycled Art Auction is a celebration of local and regional artists who have repurposed, recycled, reclaimed or reimagined materials to create art.   </p>
