We are ready for another Boomer Build Day! C’mon and help make a difference for a Sussex County Habitat for Humanity family.

This year, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity ( SCHFH) plans to serve 41 families through homeownership and home repair opportunities. Once again, we are looking for Boomers who are able to share their gifts and talents at a Build Day for Sussex County’s Habitat for Humanity!

During our 2013 Build Day endeavor, we put together a full crew, and we raised a considerable donation from our group of clients and past clients! This year, we are doing it again with our friends at Sussex County Habitat for Humanity. As the beneficiary of our 2016 Build Day and our annual fundraising effort, we are looking forward to making a huge difference in the life of a Habitat Partner Family. If you or anyone you know can come out on a mid-week day in late September or early October, please contact us at 302-424-1890. We are grateful for your support of this year’s Boomer Build.

Becoming a Construction Volunteer is Simple!

A Sussex County Habitat for Humanity Build Day offers both construction and non-construction volunteer opportunities. You do not need to be an expert to help on a construction site. There are many tasks that require only a willingness to learn and work with others.

What do you need to do?

1.  Let us know you’re interested, by calling 302-424-1890 or emailing kathy@activeadultsrealty.com. (Due to safety concerns and group size limits, no “walk-in” volunteers will be allowed on site.) You will receive a confirmation e-mail with the location and Boomer Build details.
2.  Show up! Arrive by 9:00am and be ready to work the entire day. You should wear sturdy shoes and clothes that can get dirty. (All the tools that you’ll need will be on-site as well as plenty of drinking water.)  You will be notified by e-mail if your lunch is being provided.  Otherwise, do pack a lunch.

Can You Supply Food to Boomers on the Job Site?

Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Church Groups, and Businesses as well as individuals can help out by donating meals for our Volunteer Construction Crews on Build Days! Our crew size will range from 10-30 people, usually around 20 on any given day. If you are interested in keeping our Boomer Builders fed and hydrated on our Build Day, please let us know by calling 302-424-1890 or emailing kathy@activeadultsrealty.com.

Note: Build Days go on rain or shine, but if the weather forecast looks questionable, please call SCHFH at 302-855-1153 anytime after 7am on the day of construction.  The answering message will be changed to either confirm or cancel construction.
