"Josh's House"
Built by the Rotary Clubs of Macon
Josh’s House is a Habitat for Humanity home being built in memory of Josh Rogers, whose visionary leadership through NewTown Macon helped shape the city's future. The project was launched with support from the Rotary Clubs of Macon as a tribute to Josh’s enduring impact on the community. More than just a home, Josh’s House represents a shared commitment to building a stronger, more connected Macon through stable, affordable housing.
First Volunteer Group
We had our first build for "Josh's House" June 30th of 2025 with the help of volunteers from the local Macon Rotary Club. With the foundation and walls all set up the Rotary Club volunteers were busy framing for the side panels which they started that same day.
Construction Underway
Two weeks later we had our small Huddle volunteer group come by and put the finishing touches on the projects that our first Rotary group started.
Georgia Power and Metro Power
On July 23rd, 2025,we welcomed not one but two groups to the "Josh's House" build site. The first was a group of Georgia Power interns who helped with putting siding on the outside of the house. The second was a group from Metro Power who donated their Saturday to wire the entire house.
Rotary Club and Students at work
A few weeks later we had the honor to have two more separate groups join us at the build site. We had a group of students from the ACE high schools come to tidy up the landscaping and worksite. Then the Rotary group came back to do more siding on the back of the house.
Painting Begins
With the help of our Huddle group in mid August we dusted the walls in preparation of painting. When they finished with dusting our Huddle volunteers painted the entire ceiling but left the walls for our next group.
More Painting
Painting is rarely a one day affair so a few days after the ceiling was finished the Rotary volunteers came back to finish the walls. Thanks to such a large group of hard working Rotarians the entire house was painted in three and a half hours.
