Cornerstone Education Program for Partner Families
 
Like a flower awakening from winter's slumber, April 16th launched the spring session of HFHMC's Cornerstone Homeownership Program - a series of  workshops designed to equip our Partner Families with skills, not only to succeed, but to excel as homeowners!  The first workshop focused on Fire Safety and Prevention. Other program topics include How to be a Good Neighbor, Budgeting for Emergencies, Home Repair and more! Our sincerest thanks to Darren Palmieri, Market Development Manager at Tyco Fire Protection Products in Lansdale, for presenting.

Earth Day Celebration at the ReStore
  
Earth Day 2013 Thanks to all who visited us on Earth Day at the ReStore!  And, a very special thank you to our volunteer group from AU PAIR USA.  Several hundred folks joined us as we celebrated more than 360 TONS of diverted materials from local landfills since our opening almost 3 years ago.  Of course, the benefits of the ReStore go far beyond the materials diverted and great deals for customers. We are able to use funds from the sale of donated new and gently used appliances, cabinets, furniture, and other building supplies to repair and build homes in partnership with families currently living in substandard housing. Please consider donating your items in good condition to increase our impact on substandard housing in Montgomery County.

Bank of America Volunteers in Upper Dublin
B of A Volunteers    

We would like to thank our partners at Bank of America for putting up drywall at Linden Avenue last week!  Bank of America has a strong commitment to affordable housing and homelessness prevention and as such has entered into a national partnership with Habitat for Humanity International.  We are thrilled to be part of this national initiative, but they also partner with us on a local level too - coming out to volunteer and supporting our Cornerstone program by helping our families understand budgeting, saving and predatory lending.  Thank you Bank of America for a great day!

Thank You
A special thanks to Powell, Trachtman, Logan, Carrle, & Lombardo and Bank of America for participating in our Team Build Day program, East Norriton Middle School for hosting a dodgeball tournament that raised almost $1,000, and Penn State Abington for hosting an ultimate frisbee tournament fundraiser.
