Greater Lycoming Habitat for Humanity Celebrates World Habitat Day
October 5th, 2009

The United Nations has designated the first Monday in October as annual World Habitat Day.

On this day, we reaffirm that adequate shelter is a basic human right, and we focus on the housing conditions of cities and towns around the world. We also use this day to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.

On October 5, 2009, please join us in support of World Habitat Day, as we raise our voices and declare that the lack of decent, affordable housing is unacceptable

A Little Bit about Greater Lycoming Habitat for Humanity

Meet Chris, one of our new homeowners!
Christopher Keebler is a single parent with an eight year old son , Jacobee, who was born with Cerebral Palsy.  Chris works as a counselor for troubled youth, and has been selected to receive one of the homes we are currently building in Newberry.  He had this to say about his Habitat experience:

You can help Chris and Jacobee own their own home!  Click here  to make a donation to help with construction costs, or here  to volunteer to help build it.

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Greater Lycoming Habitat For Humanity works in partnership with God and people of all faiths and races to develop communities for people in need by building and renovating houses, creating homeownership opportunities.
