Habitat For Humanity of Suffolk Starts 'Nick on the Wall' Program

Remember when you were a kid and family members would measure your height against the wall, marked it with a pencil and over the years you grew along with these marks, higher and higher up the wall?

Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk’s mission is to offer affordable home ownership programs to hardworking families who are looking for a place to call home – a place where they can put their own nicks on the wall.

This holiday season, Habitat has designed a holiday shopping guide that gives back to the deserving families of Suffolk County.

Habitat Suffolk’s Nicks on the Wall program allows givers to gift a variety of home essentials to future homeowners including a box of nails, windows, cabinets or a front door to their new home.

This year, share a different kind of stocking stuffer and make a meaningful donation to Habitat Suffolk in honor of someone special.

Studies show that 81 percent of Americans appreciate this method of giving rather than receiving material gifts.
