Habitat for Humanity

"Presbyterian House"

In January 2010, the Habitat for Humanity house built by local Presbyterian Churches will be complete. Located in Hampton on Rolfe Street, this one-story house came together thanks to Habitat staff and numerous volunteers from the many Presbyterian (and other) churches in the area. Several Hidenwood members volunteer their time and home-building expertise on Wednesdays and Saturdays on any of several Habitat projects in the area. To join them, and to get on their e-mail list for more specific information, contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , 757-596-4036.
