Habitat for HumanityMembers of St. John’s are active supporters of Habitat for Humanity. They take part in builds, provide lunches for the volunteers and work on the salvage teams that remove reusable items from houses being renovated or torn down. These items are then sold in Habitat’s ReStore to totally offset the overhead of the affiliate. On June 7, 2009, Susan Goetz, a member of Habitat Halton’s Board of Directors, provided us with an overview of their new program called ReNew It. Instead of building a home from scratch, this initiative
helps to renew old homes for seniors or people with disabilities. St. John's United Church |
