Habitat for Humanity: Help Homeowners in Need with Minor Repair Projects

Saturday, February 11, 2012, 9:15 AM - 4:30 PM

Group: Habitat for Humanity

Description: Volunteers will assist low-income homeowners with painting, landscaping, weather stripping, and minor home repairs. This is part of Habitat's "A Brush with Kindness" service.

Contact: E-mail Cynthia at . Reservations required.

More Details: The mission of A Brush with Kindness is to enhance and revitalize neighborhoods where Habitat-NYC has built affordable homes. It is about connecting people and restoring homes and community space through simple acts of kindness so that families can once again live in safe and decent neighborhoods.

Volunteers provide minor exterior and interior construction work for community organizations such as youth centers, churches and schools. The scope of work includes exterior and interior painting, basic landscaping and completing minor repairs. Experience is helpful but not neccesary.

Did you know that 93% of emergency food programs in NYC experienced an increase in the number of individuals accessing emergency food for the first time in 2009?
