Ashburn Scout Plans Project to Benefit the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity

Ashburn resident Brenton Jackson has invited the community to participate in his Eagle Scout service project that will benefit the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity. Jackson, a member of Troop 1173 and a Stone Bridge High School student, is organizing a used book/CD/DVD drive with plans to hold a community book sale at the end. Jackson hopes to raise enough money to fund the construction of a house for Habitat near Purcellville.

Here’s how residents in the community can help:

Contribute to Donation Boxes through Nov. 10
Jackson has set out large green donation boxes with information and fliers attached in the following places around the community:

• Association Building
• (in the band room)

Door-to-door Collection in Ashburn Farm, Saturday, Nov. 5
Two weeks before the book sale, Jackson will coordinate a door-to-door pickup throughout Ashburn Farm. Volunteers will distribute reminder fliers by Oct. 29. Then from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 5, volunteers will collect the books that have been left on doorsteps.

Community Used Book Sale, Saturday, Nov. 12
The sale is planned from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, in the gym area of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at 21015 Claiborne Parkway. All proceeds go to Loudoun Habitat for Humanity!

Learn more about Habitat for Humanity
At the book sale you will find a display and additional information about how Loudoun Habitat for Humanity benefits our community. Volunteers will be available to answer questions.

Donate Used Tools
On book sale day, Habitat for Humanity will accept donations of gently used tools and certain building materials, which support the organization’s work to build affordable housing in Loudoun.    For a list of acceptable building material donations, please see the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity website at http://www.loudounhabitat.org/restore-donate.
