HABITAT for HUMANITY
Good Friday Walk: By now,
you will have seen reminders that the 25th Annual
Good Friday Walk for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland is coming
right up on Friday, April 22nd. Here’s the many ways you can be
involved:
· Walk 3, 5, 10 or 20 miles, getting sponsors to support
you in your efforts and Habitat in their work.
FMI or to register online: http://habitatportlandme.org.
· Sponsor walkers who will be “pounding the
pavement”.
· Volunteer to work at the registration table, a way
station, drive a TOE truck, provide food and refreshments for the
walkers
· Work on site.
For more info, contact Kate Callahan,
Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@habitatme.org
Remember, money raised goes toward
construction of 6 Habitat projects under way in Westbrook or about to
happen in Freeport! The excitement is building for 6 Habitat family
partners! By walking or sponsoring, you can directly help make that
dream a reality for families who will be partnering with Habitat to
build their homes and will become no interest mortgage homeowners,
paying taxes like you and me. Please join us in making this 25th annual
walk an unprecedented success!

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization
dedicated to eradicating substandard housing throughout the world.
Since its organization in 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Greater
Portland has built 43 simple, decent, affordable homes by using
volunteer labor and donations of land, material and money. Our 43
homes, like all Habitat homes, were then sold to a partner family at
cost by means of a no-interest, no-profit loan.
