The local Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County (HFH) is getting ready to begin construction of their next Habitat home located on Flower Street in Berlin, Maryland for a deserving local family. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds affordable homes for low-income families of Worcester County. The all-volunteer organization provides homes at no profit through interest free loans to needy families. The organization's mission is: "To build simple, decent, affordable homes for low income families in partnership… with the community"
The local chapter of HFH welcomes those who wish to donate their time or talent on-site to help build the homes—but they are in dire need of financial support to continue the mission. Participation in the Carpenter's Club giving program is easy. Following an initial $25 membership fee, each member pledges $35 each time Habitat completes a home (currently averaging one home every 12 months.) But, to encourage new membership, the initial $25 membership fee is waived if you sign up during the month of October. Here’s how to sign up:
1. Website—visit HFH at www.habitatworcester.org and click on "Carpenter's Club" link
2. Send an email direct to HFH of Worcester County at inquire@habitatworcester.org 3. Or, call us at 410-208-4440. If you are interested in signing up to volunteer onsite to help build the next Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County home on Flower Street, please visit our website at www.habitatworcester.org and click on "Volunteers/Donations" tab.
