Troy's Community Newsletter

Habitat for Humanity of Rensselaer County

We'll be building in downtown Troy in the fall, and we invite you to join us as a construction volunteer. Skilled volunteers are especially needed, although we welcome every willing helper. We'll work every Saturday and Sunday from 8am - 4pm for about 6 months.

Construction volunteers should have their own tools and can volunteer by calling 283-6026. In the meantime, we need help behind-the-scenes in these areas:

Building Committee:

We need talented construction volunteers to lead our weekend work crews. We need folks who have construction experience and who are willing to teach small groups specific skills for 8 weekend hours. This is a crucial job. For more info, call Jerry Oathout at 271-8415.

Fund Raising

Help us raise money to continue our projects. Call Dave Blackman at 279-1548 to find out he you can get involved.

Family Selection

Work as part of a team to screen potential families for eligibility. Call Cindy Pohlmann at 271-7992 to learn more about this important task.

Family Partering

On this committee you'll be matched with a prospective family to help them transition into the role of home owner. Jim Goold can give you more details. You can reach him at 674-2352.

Hospitality/Lunch Volunteers

When we build, we provide our weekend volunteer crews with lunch to thank them for a job well done. If you'd like to donate lunch for 15-20 people beginning in the fall, please let us know by calling Tracey Martin at 273-1102.
