It may be cold out, but we've got indoor construction volunteering – and heat! Today, Women Build and Hammer & Saw volunteers are hanging doors and painting at 105 Holworthy; while drywall "mudding" is being completed at 126 Holworthy. Construction volunteer shifts are open now for public construction, Women Build, and three Faith Builds. Sign-up today! Side porch framing and interior drywall installed at 105 Holworthy Street (Fastrac / Bank of America / Women Build)The snow definitely didn't seem to bother the NAWIC Women Build team! The side porch is now framed and interior drywall almost done! NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) is obviously a great fit for our Women Build program, but you don't have to have any experience to build with us. Learn more about Women Build at: www.rochesterhabitat.org/womenbuild Front porch decking and interior drywall installed at 105 Holworthy Street (Fastrac / Bank of America / Women Build)The Women Build Steering Committee braved the cold to work on the front porch decking and interior drywall at 105 Holworthy Street.
Fastrac, Bank of America, and Women Build have all contributed financially and with volunteer hours to make 105 Holworthy possible; but the Women Build teams have been volunteering multiple days every week throughout the build. Because of this dedicated volunteer force, 105 Holworthy is the furthest along of the four new homes being build on Holworthy Street! Interested in volunteering with Women Build? Visit: www.rochesterhabitat.org/womenbuild Pies and coffee to build homesEach year, several of our volunteer-run supporting coalitions sell pies to build Habitat homes. Sweet deal right?
In addition to the well-known and delicious pies from Kelly's Farm Market; our pie champions are now also partnering with Special Touch Bakery and Coffee Connection to make our annual pie sale even more impactful! Kelly's Farm Market (Hilton, NY) is a long-time partner of the Habitat pie sale. Pies are made from scratch with fruit grown on the farm and no preservatives. Special Touch Bakery is a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to provide training and employment, in the community, to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Coffee Connection is a nonprofit program and business that offers sober support and employment training/creation for women in recovery from addiction and trauma. Treat your loved ones to delicious pie and coffee this holiday season while building homes, community, hope — and empowerment — in Rochester! How to order:
These groups are all raising money to support Flower City Habitat's mission and vision. Now you can have your pie, your coffee – and build Habitat homes too! Order today!
