Thank you to all of the volunteers who fundraised and joined us for our 2014 Women Build!  Over 50 volunteers worked on a Habitat home in our local community and fundraised over $10,000, raising more than twice our goal!

If you were not able to join us for Women Build, or did participate and want to continue your service, please join us for a monthly Women Crew build day.  The build day will be the first Thursday of the month.  All women over 16 yrs. old are welcome to join us, no experience required.  Click hereto register for the June 5th build day. 
VOLUTEERS NEEDED: Family Support Partners

You can give back to Habitat for Humanity and to a local family in a big way without ever lifting a hammer!  Accountability partners are needed for Habitat partner families.  This is a 1 - 2 year commitment where you meet or talk with your assigned family at least once a month.  We provide all training and translation services, if needed.  Bi-lingual, Creole and English speakers also needed.  Help provide the support that a family needs as they work towards home-ownership!
