AccessNorthGa.com - North Georgia's Newsroom: "Disasters heighten Habitat's profile, fuel demand for its homes

The Associated Press - AMERICUS, Ga.

The devastating tsunamis and hurricanes of the past year have led to increased visibility for Habitat for Humanity International, and, as a result, the Georgia-based charity has seen a jump in donations and volunteers.

Interest in the organization has increased in recent months as President Bush, other leaders and countless celebrities _ from singer Barbra Streisand to author John Grisham to dozens of professional sports teams _ have thrown their high-profile support behind Habitat's efforts to build low-income housing for those left homeless by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
