With snow on the ground, and decent weather planned for Saturday, we’ll burn the brush at our new duplex site on Tonella Road in Milford. Please bring chainsaws, etc. as available – can’t burn anything >5-in diameter (but can remove any suitable as firewood).

Each year a number of Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the north-east region (Massachusetts and New Hampshire – with a large amount of individual participants from surrounding states, and an increasing number of participants from other regions) participate in Habitat for Humanity’s Take A Hike For Humanity.  Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity has always had a strong presence at this event, which is without doubt, the single largest fundraising event for Habitat for Humanity in the area.

Our affiliate is looking for a volunteer willing to act as a liaison between our organization and this year’s Take A Hike For Humanity director, Peter Dobratz.  The Affiliate Coordinator:

- Helps teams organize themselves (much of this is taking place online: teams create their own webpages and can ask for pledges online).

- Help track which teams have raised enough for T-Shirts.

- Help find sponsors.

- Help distribute flyers.

The affiliate has a great deal of experience with this event and many of our participants are regulars who will help make this job easier.  The event is most likely taking place on June 5th of next year.  For more information please contact our office: office@nashuahabitat.org.

Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is asking members of the Greater Nashua community for any space where the organization could park its truck.

“EMC has graciously allowed us to park in their lot for the past couple of years, but cannot extend that privilege” stated Building Committee Chairman Eric Moore.

The truck carries all the supplies and materials that the organization drives to a number of sites throughout the Greater Nashua area for work.  This means the truck is actively used, driven, and maintained.  It is anticipated that the truck will be parked semi-permenantly in Milford once the organization begins the construction of a duplex in that area this coming spring – so it is likely any space donated for this purpose will only be needed for a handful of months, between now and the start of the Milford project.

If you have any knowledge of space or you have the availability of space for our truck, please contact Eric Moore at eric.moore@nashuahabitat.org.  You can also leave a message at our main office: 603.883.0295 or drop an email to Marie and Jen at office@nashuahabitat.org.
