Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical, national organization whose goal is to eliminate substandard housing. The Rochester affiliate (Flower City Habitat for Humanity) has built more than 100 homes since the mid 1980’s. Messiah has participated in four homes over the past several years; most recently three homes built in conjunction with the Greece Churches Habitat Coalition.
Volunteers are needed to help plan the fund raising activities, to work on the golf tournament, and to construct the house. No special skills are needed; volunteers are trained on any activity they are asked to do. If you cannot perform an activity, you can ask for another assignment. All that is needed to help build the home is a willing heart and a desire to help! Volunteers working on the construction site must, by New York state law, be 18 years old or older, but younger volunteers can sometimes be used on non-construction activities.
Work has been completed on our current house! Dedication is planned for August 19 at 11:00am at the house (172 Fulton Ave)
Two fund raisers are scheduled to help pay for the house:
Join us on September 9 for a Celebrity Car Wash at both Greece United Methodist Church at Maiden Lane and Long Pond Rd or at Greece Baptist Church at the corner of Ridge Road West and Mitchell Rd., The car wash will be help from 10:00am to 3:00 pm/
