Sandtown Habitat for Humanity

Hello,

Welcome to the Sandtown Habitat for Humanity blog post. I hope to use this to keep everyone updated on upcoming work days, progress and stories of interest. In future postings, I will give a little history on the Sandtown area and the Habitat Mission.

Currently, Chapelgate is working on a home at 1442 Mount Street along with our friends from Central Presbyterian. This is the 13th home we've sponsored in 12 years!! Chapelgate takes the lead responsibility for leading volunteers on the 1st and 4th Saturday of each month, while Central leads on the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays. We typically work from around 9:00am until around 2 or 3 in the afternoon (you do not have to commit to the entire day to be a big help!).

How can you help? Volunteer to drive nails, help clean the house during work days (this keeps the site much safer), be a "runner" (gather materials for the work inside the house), prepare and serve a meal for about 30 people (a great idea for small groups!), painting (usually only one or two work days a year, but always a active day!), etc.

You will see pictures of the progress of this home as we move along. Currently, it is in BAD shape, but we are well on the way to making this a beautiful home.

If you are interested in Habitat, please contact me. I will add you to an email list.
