MBK Teams Up With Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity
“ Habitat is more than a housing nonprofit. It’s a vision of a world where we share one humanity. Habitat for Humanity was born on a farm in South Georgia on the theory of radical inclusivity, at a time when inclusivity was seen by some as an existential threat. It’s a vision of a world we still believe in and fight to build every day. “
-Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity International
Last Friday, MBK split into two small teams to be the first on-site group to work on a property since COVID. The first group cleared the property filling an entire dumpster and began the spring process on the second floor. After lunch, group two arrived and was able to prime the remainder of the entire house. Dan Eger, team leader, later presented John O’Farrell, of Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity, with a check from MBK for $750. Congratulations to the team for their hard work and dedication!
About Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity :
GSHFH has a vision of a community where everyone has a decent place to live.GSHFH builds and repairs homes in partnership with local families in need of safe, decent, affordable housing. A Habitat home is not a gift. With volunteer labor and donations of both money and materials, we are able to help qualifying families obtain a home of their own with an affordable mortgage.
In lieu of a down payment, our partner families contribute “sweat equity”, or physical labor toward the construction of their own home, other Habitat family homes, and special projects. Our service area is all of Hampden County.
