On Saturday, April 30, North Parish volunteers will be helping to frame a new duplex for Habitat for Humanity at 25-27 Spruce Street in Lawrence. Building skills are not required, and new volunteers are often paired with experienced Habitat builders. While a full-day (8:30 – 4) commitment is appreciated, those able to join us for just the morning are also welcome.
Over the past three years, more than 20 North Parish volunteers helped construct four recently-completed duplex homes on Lupine Road in Andover.Here in Essex County, our local Habitat group has built 114 affordable homes and rehabbed an additional 41 homes since 1985. Habitat homeowners earn between 40% and 60% of the area median income and contribute at least 240 volunteer hours of “sweat equity.”For further information or to volunteer, contact Dick Howe at 978-475-4955 or howe8788@gmail.com.
