2024 Habitat for Humanity Build

Hello Saint Mark volunteers!

I’m Frank Wrenn, Saint Mark’s Build Coordinator this year! Saint Mark United Methodist will be again be participating in our Atlanta Habitat for Humanity build! This year, we’re building a new home alongside Jemario, our homebuyer.

When we partner with Atlanta Habitat, we join them as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization by building quality, affordable homes alongside the homeowners themselves creating opportunities for families to thrive beyond the build and well into the future.

Please join our build and encourage your family and friends!

Meet Our Homebuyer

Jemario is an Atlanta native and has worked for the city for the past seven years in the watershed department. His interests include football, basketball, and video games. When he is not working or cheering on his favorite sports team, you can find him attending church, listening to his favorite musical artists, and spending time with his son, Jahmir (15). Jahmir enjoys sports and video games and wants to be either a football player or a doctor when he

grows up! In Jemario’s words, this new home “will mean the world to me and my son.” Now, he has finally made his dream a reality.

Welcome home, Jemario and Jahmir!
