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