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 8th, 2010. (more…)

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. (more…)
