The Asbhurnham "Challenge" is On!

May 30, 2006

Habitat for Humanity will build a home with a family in need on Sherbert Road in Ashburnham, and the fundraising and planning has begun! To get this project started and sustained we need many ready and willing volunteers, as well as help in raising money to build a home with a deserving family. Being a part of a Habitat build is very rewarding for the volunteers and brings together people from all parts of the town and nearby communities.

The Ashburnham "Challenge Grant"

Do you enjoy a challenge? As well as needing people to volunteer their skills such as writing, organizing, networking, engineering, and of course, building, we also need plenty of donations. So we are offering you another type of challenge to help us raise money. An anonymous donor in Ashburnham is challenging any family, club, church or business to donate $500 or more to the Ashburnham Habitat project. This donor has volunteered to match any donation of $500 or more for up to $15,000. This is a great way for people to double their donations! If you are up to the challenge please make your check out to Habitat for Humanity- North Central Massachusetts, and send in with the donation form below or donate online at http://www.ncmhabitat.org/Donations. Be sure to mark your donation for the ASHBURNHAM house.

Volunteers

If you would like to get involved in other ways, please join us at a meeting. Committee meetings are held every third Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Ashburnham library.
