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”.

Under Harrow’s Leadership, Organization Expanded Fundraising Base, Acquired Land, Multiplied Amount of Small Projects Tackled 

Nashua – Last month, Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity’s Board of Directors elected a new President.  Jerry Harrow, who had served as president as long as the organization’s bylaws allowed, first volunteered for the organization in 1997. Since then has served as Treasurer and Vice President for the organization.  He will serve one more year as a member of the Board of Directors. 

Under Harrow’s presidency the organization grew significantly – he concludes his presidency as the organization begins to plan construction projects spanning three consecutive years: the organization has just announced that they will build a duplex in Milford for two families that have already been selected by the organization’s Family Selection Committee.  Plans for properties in Nashua and Wilton are currently on the organization’s drawing board as well.
