Happy New Year!  

 ED for Habitat for Humanity

Welcome to the new Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia newsletter. One of our New Year's Resolutions is to make sure you know what's happening, and how you can get involved with Habitat for Humanity! What's your resolution? If it's to volunteer more, check out the opportunities for the MLK Day of Service. Planning to spruce up your own home in 2013? Our ReStores can help you do that while staying on budget! We hope to hear more from you this year, check out the links at left to your favorite social media sites and tell us how Habitat for Humanity will help you achieve your resolutions in 2013!

 

I would also like to acknowledge and thank all of our donors, volunteers and partners who helped us achieve our goals in 2012.  We appreciate your support and look forward to making great things happen in 2013! 

 

I hope to see you at the Home Show this week, and please come out to Stone's Cove on the 27th.   

   

Best,

Rev. Dr. Jon Smoot

Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia
