Kudos to Our Weekday Saints & Crew Leaders
Celebrating National Volunteer Week
Hartford Habitat counts on construction volunteers from near and far to build at the worksites. However, there is a loyal group of construction volunteers known as the Weekday Saints and Crew Leaders who build almost all year-round.
In April, Hartford Habitat celebrated their contribution of time and talent with a special luncheon.
Many of our Saints are retired professionals from all different walks of life. Our Crew Leaders volunteer on a weekend rotation and assist our construction staff with volunteer groups at the worksites. |
