HABITAT for HUMANITY
The parish extends a sincere thank you to
those who participated and supported last weekend’s fundraising event
for Habitat for Humanity. The effort was particularly commendable in
light of severe cold weather on Good Friday, March 21. Eleven Sacred
Heart Parish members participated in the Walk -- several even completing
the grueling 20-mile trek. With contributions of food, the parish also
helped to support the registration sites and Springbrook Farm way
station. A preliminary tally indicates that 67 people participated in
the Walk from the towns of Yarmouth, North Yarmouth and Cumberland and
raised approximately $13,500.
Habitat for Humanity RESTORE :
ReStore is a place where individuals, businesses and companies can
donate new and reusable building materials, cabinets and appliances
which Habitat then sells for 50 to 80 percent of retail. Here’s an
opportunity for you to buy discounted home repair supplies or to
donate used materials …. and all will benefit the Habitat cause!
ReStore, 83A Bell Street, Portland. Thursday and Friday, 10 to 6. For
more info, call 221-0047
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.
