Milford – Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity will begin the construction of a duplex home on Tonella Road, in Milford, in a few weeks.  It will hold a meeting that is open to all members of the public in order to answer questions related to this project and to increase its volunteer pool in Milford and the surrounding area.  This is an opportunity for local residents and for potential volunteers to meet Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity leaders and to learn about the organization’s efforts. 

The organization also seeks the opportunity to reach local business owners willing to donate goods spanning from meals for volunteers to labor and construction equipment use.  The organization will answer questions about this specific project as well as questions from those interested in partnering with Habitat for Humanity to become home-owners in future projects.  At the moment the organization is also in the planning stages to build homes in Wilton and Nashua and is seeking applications from families for these properties. 

This “Habitat Information Night” meeting will be held at the Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley, located at 56 Mont Vernon Street, in Milford, (New Hampshire, 03055), from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on Monday, February 8^th, 2010. (more…)

With snow on the ground, and decent weather expected for Saturday, we’ll continue burning the brush at our new duplex site on Tonella Road in Milford. 

Free firewood! 

Please bring chainsaws, etc. as available – can’t burn anything over 5-inches in diameter (but can remove anything suitable as firewood).

Have you begun to think about cleaning out your garage, closets, or attic and don’t know what to do with items you don’t want?  If so, we could use your yard sale donations!  The Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is having a giant yard sale this spring on Saturday May 1st from 8A.M. to 3 PM.  Rain date will be May 8th. It will be held at 15 Meredith Drive in Nashua.

In order to make this yard sale a success, we are hoping that you will begin to set aside possible yard sale donations for this fundraising event.  We will be having pick up and drop off dates in April and will notify you then.

We also need volunteers for the yard sale on that date.

For further information, please contact Ellen Svenson at ellen.svenson@nashuahabitat.org or call her at 603.882.5953 and leave a message. 

All yard sale donations will be greatly appreciated and we hope to see you at the sale!
