Construction Update

As painting finishes up on the Holworthy Street and Smith Street new builds; flooring is next — and if you do it in that order, you don't have to worry about paint drips!

Big thanks to students from RIT and Edison Tech for great volunteer groups this week!

MLK Day 2020

1/20/2020

 

AmeriCorps Members lead MLK Day of service

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, our AmeriCorps members had "a day on, not a day off" by teaching ideals of service to a group of young volunteers.

Our volunteer opportunities are usually limited to 16 years old and up, but with the construction sites closed for the day we were able to set up some cleaning and organizing activities that were safe for this group to learn more about Habitat and community service! (There was a little time to play in the snow too!)

Thank you Greg and Maggie, our two #AmeriCorps members, for making this great experience possible and for your service each day that you are with us!
