Calling for Experienced Volunteers!

Would you like to be a part of improving the life of an 82 year old veteran? Habitat will be partnering with team Rubicon, a disaster response volunteer organization, to roof and side a home allowing the homeowner to age in place. We need experienced volunteers and leaders to help support groups during a September 29th and 30th. If interested, please contact us ASAP! Let's serve him as the homeowner has served the us.

What Happened Last Week

With volunteer groups Guardian Life, General Dynamics, and dedicated Core Volunteers, HFH started siding the North and South exterior walls, continued siding on the East and West exterior walls, and made progress with second story interior walls at the Dalton house.

"I think you would all agree that it is a very rewarding experience and of course you all have these newfound skills that you developed along the way.  Just don’t tell your significant other or your honey do list will grow by leaps and bounds.  We had a great team this year and really enjoyed participating in this with all of you."
- Scott Raaymakes, Guardian Life

Farewell Aliza!

Thank you, Aliza, for serving with us as an AmeriCorps National! We wish you all the best in your journey ahead.

"Thank you to everyone for all of your hard work and dedication. I have really enjoyed learning from all of you and being there to support you, you have made it a wonderful and rewarding experience. I am happy to report that thanks to everyone's warm welcoming, patience, dedication, and friendships throughout my time with CBHFH I am pursuing a future career as a Volunteer Engagement Coordinator.

I wish everyone the best!
If you ever find yourself in the Washington DC area I would love to stay connected. Good luck with the Dalton Build and thank you for everything!"

Warmly,
Aliza Mendelowitz
