Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity President Jerry Harrow emphasized the commonalities between those who are sponsoring this event and the organization: “The supporters of Arts for Charity, like the volunteers of Habitat for Humanity, are concerned about living in a vibrant community in which everyone has a simple, decent place to live.  Though each individual may contribute in their own unique way, together we build a stronger community in which people can live and grow and achieve their full potential.”

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.  Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.
