NCL Ridgefield team collects tape for Housatonic Habitat

The Ridgefield Chapter of the National Charity League (NCL) recently held a scotch tape drive to support Housatonic Habitat for Humanity’s ‘Wrapping for Habitat’. NCL Ridgefield teams collected tape which will be used by Housatonic Habitat’s wrapping volunteers at the Danbury Fair Mall to raise funds to build affordable homes.

Now in our 5th consecutive year, the ‘Wrapping for Habitat’ fundraiser provides wrapping of holiday gifts purchased at the Danbury Fair Mall from December 1st through December 24th, just outside of Macy’s on the second floor. With a suggested donation of just $5 per gift, people can get their gifts wrapped while supporting Housatonic Habitat at the same time.

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.

By providing decent, affordable, safe housing to qualified regional families, Housatonic Habitat contributes to community revitalization in the greater Danbury region by creating homes that can transform a street and neighborhood and add value to the community. This process transitions families from renters to homeowners who pay taxes; it helps stabilize families; and enables households to build equity for their future.
