Greetings!
 From raising the roofs on Guilford Street to mailing our Fall appeal with the help of our awesome volunteer Bulk Team, Hartford Habitat has had a very busy November!
Did you know that with your help, we partnered with 8 new families who are now Hartford Habitat homeowners? We have many reasons to celebrate: 172 homes built since 1989! 172 reasons and more!
As you read earlier, our Fall appeal was mailed a few weeks ago. If you have not responded, you can still help a family escape poverty housing by making a safe and easy online donation today. Simply click on the button and follow the instructions. 
Enjoy your November edition of Habitat Happenings! |
