Who Are We? What's New ? Our Projects .What We Need

 

Columbia County Habitat's 2007 Project [beginning in May 2007]:

Habitat for Humanity of Columbia County currently builds one house per year. The build traditionally begins on the first Saturday in May and runs every Saturday thereafter for 17 to 18 weeks. At the end of the construction project, the build is concluded with a Celebration Dinner. This is a pot luck dinner inviting all the volunteers, donors and community to celebrate the completion of all the hard work. Details will be forthcoming.

Our current project is a second home on Mill Street in Hudson. The schedule for 2007 is listed below and requires at least 20 Volunteers which will follow the direction of 4 Crew Leaders and a House Leader.
