Habitat For Humanity Work Day Saturday, May 1st

We will be working this year on a house in the Palermo area of Upper Township, Cape May County. More information and location details will be mailed to members in March-April, but please keep this date open.

This marks the fourth year our local South Jersey Chapter has participated in the annual National Service Week by helping Habitat.

Habitat For Humanity has active affiliates in all counties in South Jersey. If you would like to get further involved and become a year-round volunteer with Habitat contact Ralph Cooper rjcooper@bellatlantic.net and he will provide names and phone numbers for your area. Ralph is a board member of our Penn State Chapter and has also been a strong advocate and board member of Habitat for Humanity Cape May County for many years.
