 GREATER NASHUA HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO ASSIST KaBOOOM! 

Nashua – Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity will play a critical role this coming Thursday, September 10^th, when it joins forces with KaBOOM! to help install a new playground at Bronstein Apartments at 42 Central Street in Nashua, New Hampshire (03060). 

Board of Directors member and Building Committee Chairman Eric Moore is seeking volunteers to help Habitat for Humanity in this effort.  Volunteers must arrive by 8:00 AM for registration with Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity and to sign waivers.  Breakfast will be provided before the official kick-off at 8:30 AM.  The playground will be built between 8:45 AM and 2:30 PM.  Lunch will be served in shifts during that time; a ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place right at 2:30 PM. 

Board Member and Public Relations Chairman Ed Lopez emphasized the need to pass the word around. “This is the type of effort that brings quite an eclectic group of volunteers together – we have always had a great pool of volunteers to rely on but we are especially enthusiastic about the chance to see a larger number than usual volunteering and working in tandem with volunteers from other organizations – this is the type of project that brings communities together; we’re honored that Habitat for Humanity was invited to participate.”
