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.

Nashua – Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity invites those attending the Winter Holiday Stroll to stop by its famous Annual Bake Sale. The event will take place on Saturday, November 28, from 5PM- 9 PM.  It will be held at the United Methodist Church on 154 Main Street, Nashua, New Hampshire (03060).  

Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity’s bake sale has always been a well-known stop during the Nashua Winter Holiday Stroll.  This year the sale will include Arts and Crafts in order to help increase proceeds.  Starbucks Coffee has joined forces with the organization by supplying coffee and hot chocolate, which will be sold along with home-made baked treats.  Arts and Crafts to be featured include items from Karen’s Everyday Beaded Jewelry and Marie Lopez Photography, as well as items donated by Carol Farland.  Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity is preparing to build homes for two families in the spring of 2010.  Proceeds are all directed toward the organization’s efforts to build and renovate houses, “so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow”.

Nashua – Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity has begun transitioning to a new website address, a transition that will unfold until December 31, 2010.  The organization’s new website address is www.nashuahabitat.org.  Over the next few months the organization’s website will still be accessible through both its former address (URL) and its new one, at least until the transition is complete. 

Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity’s website address has been www.nashabitat.org since the organization began issuing press releases, newsletters, notices, and potential home applicant information and applications online.  The organization’s website also provides updates on construction projects, its leadership, and fundraising efforts.  Members of the community interested in volunteering will soon be able to register for volunteer hours with an online scheduling system to be released by next spring.  Those interested in donating funds to the organization can also visit the website to contribute online.  The organization is currently working on several projects to help improve fundraising as it prepares to build two homes in the spring of 2010. 

The organization adopted www.nashuahabitat.org as its new official website address during the last meeting of its Board of Directors.  All email addresses will transition as well: any correspondence sent to addresses ending in “@nashabitat.org” will be forwarded automatically to “@nashuahabitat.org.”
