Hatfield Home Repair Info Session

  presenting to community members.

 

Evening Recap 

In  partnership with the Borough of Hatfield, HFHMC held an informational session on November 21 to introduce its Home Repair Program.  Hatfield Borough residents were invited to learn about the program and encouraged to apply. Through the Home Repair Program we will be able to preserve and ensure safe, decent and affordable housing for qualifying families who already own their homes.  

 
Thank you to all who came out to the informational meeting. We would especially like to thank leaders from Hatfield Borough, including Borough Manager Mike DeFinis, Mayor Robert Kaler, President John Weierman, and other valued Borough Council members and staff for attending the informational meeting and showing their support.

#GivingTuesday is December 3
#GivingTuesday is a special call to action and creates a national day of giving around the annual shopping and spending season to inspire giving every day. Please consider making a gift to HFHMC.

Give by Dec 31 to have your gift matched by a generous group of donors.

For an extra special holiday touch, we will send your loved one a holiday card letting them know that you've made a gift in
their name.
