Housatonic Habitat holds Interfaith Volunteer Work Day

Local Congregations donate their time

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity recently held its first interfaith volunteer work day which was led by Jim Wheeler, Interfaith Coordinator. More than 15 volunteers from local congregations met at Housatonic Habitat’s ReStore at 51 Austin St. in Danbury before heading to New Preston. The teams painted 2-car garages that are part of the Myfield project. Housatonic Habitat recently began construction on its first of eight new homes as part of the Mygatt project. Individuals or groups interested in volunteering should contact: volunteer@housatonichabitat.org.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity focuses on making a meaningful difference in the lives of qualified working families by promoting financial stability and self-sufficiency through ownership of affordable homes. Households often consist of those who have limited assets and who have jobs that also have income caps.
