Habitat for Humanity to rehab west side Ottawa house for Marine Corps veteran

There’ll be a little overlap with two Habitat For Humanity projects in Ottawa. A new house on Catherine St. is almost finished. Now, Habitat is looking for volunteers to help with a rehab on Ottawa Ave.

Jeremy Close is a 34-year old Marine Corps veteran who’s been working on it for nine months and needs help getting the work done in time for the new school year.

Close plans to have a wood shop in the garage where he’ll work self-employed.

Volunteers may contact Habitat for Humanity at 815-434-2041.
