Habitat for Humanity - Serving Opportunities Carpentersville

Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year so our goal is to do 20 projects. We are planning to complete 10 rehabs and 10 A Brush with Kindness (ABWK) projects. ABWK is a new program for us this year and here's some brief information: The new program will serve low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes. Volunteers help homeowners with exterior maintenance which typically includes painting, landscaping, and clean-up. A Brush with Kindness ensures that families live in well-maintained homes. The program is designed to revitalize the appearance of the neighborhood, encourage connections within the community, and most importantly, help preserve affordable housing stock. There is no cost to the homeowner for this program.

We are planning on doing 5 rehabs in Carpentersville, 4 in Elgin and 1 in St. Charles and the ABWK have not yet been selected. So there are many projects with various scopes of work we could really use your help with...please let us know if you'd like to be involved.

Also, if you know someone who would like to apply for a Habitat for Humanity house, please let them know we are having a meeting this Saturday, February 6th at 10 am at First Congregational Church on Rt. 31 in West Dundee.

We still need 4 families for houses for this year. And if you know someone who owns their house but needs a free paint job and might want to apply for the ABWK program, please have them call our office and ask for Justin, 847-836-1432 or justin.lucas@hfhnfv.org.

Thank you.
