Firelands Habitat for Humanity
Barb Miller from the Firelands Habitat for Humanity was our speaker on March 24th.
The following information was taken from Firelands Habitat For Humanities website at http://www.firelandshabitat.org/ (FHFH) works in partnership with God and people of all faiths and races to develop communities for people in need by building and renovating houses, creating homeownership opportunities. Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
The Firelands Habitat For Humanity ReStore needs your donations...of almost any items you take out of your home. Especially needed are doors, windows, cabinets (kitchen or other) and working appliances ( 10 years or less). But any building or remodeling material that's in good shape can be recycled through the ReStore, saving you dumping costs and providing a tax deduction as well. Equally important, your donations will go back into the community to help people who are upgrading their homes. The ReStore resells your new or used items (as well as corporate donations) for 50% to 70% off retail prices. All operating profits from ReStore sales go into Habitat's building program, helping provide adequate housing for Huron and Erie County families.
