Construction crews covered for Habitat

Friends,

 

The house in Waco is nearly complete and there’s a volunteer group of 10 from St. Cyril’s parish (Chicago area) working with us at the house in Waco and at the warehouse.

 

The construction crew will be on vacation during the first two weeks of July, so things will be slow until they return.

 

So, thanks for all you do for Habitat families, and we look forward to new construction later on this summer.

 

Warm regards,

Layne

A House Built From Aluminum Cans?

Novelis Corporation, based in Cleveland, Ohio, pays our Habitat affiliate double the going rate for recycled aluminum cans!!!

That figures out to about $1.00 a pound.

75,000 pounds of aluminum cans will buy a building lot and put a decent house on it.

But we have to have several people who own vehicles with lots of cargo space willing to volunteer to run can routes for, say three hours, once every week or so to build the can house.

So why not take a day off from retirement every week or so and pick up cans for Habitat?

We’ll supply the bags and collection boxes. We have established locations for pick ups and places to put the cans.

You CAN help and together we CAN build a Habitat house with CANS!

Late Breaking News

We have just received some exciting news from WEKU, the classical music and NPR station operated by EKU and from 84 Lumber’s Richmond Store. During WEKU’s spring on-air fund-raiser, 84 Lumber will donate one piece of framing material to HFHMC for every caller who makes a donation to support the radio station.

Our goal is 800 pieces of framing material which will be enough to completely frame 2 new homes!

Tune in to WEKU, 88.9 on your FM dial, from April 4th thru April 11th, and help us celebrate this three way partnership between WEKU, 84 Lumber and Habitat for Humanity of Madison and Clark Counties.
