HUNTINGTON -- Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity, in partnership with the Downtown Churches Association, will dedicate the affiliate’s 66th home during a ceremony at 1:30 p.m. today at 1902 Artisan Ave. Central Christian, Fifth Avenue Baptist, First Methodist, First Presbyterian, Johnson Memorial United Methodist, St. Joseph Catholic, St. Paul Lutheran and Trinity Episcopal all participated in the build. The churches provide a financial contribution, volunteer labor and prepared lunches for volunteers three days a week.
