LHUMC's Work With
Aluminum Cans: We are still collecting cans and flip tops. Please squash the cans by stepping on them if at all possible. This makes storage of the cans easier and cleaner. We can only take them in for recycling once we have 10 pounds or more, so they must be stored in between. Thanks again to Linda Zuck who has been collecting cans from her place of employment and to the Tuesday work crew for taking them to the recycling center. New Building: As you can imagine with skyrocketing real estate AHFH has been having a difficult time of not only acquiring donated properties, but also property at a reduced rate in AA county. Instead, they have been successful in acquiring some properties in Brooklyn/Curtis Bay area. Some will be rehabilitated and some demolished. We are hopeful that we might be assigned to one of these in the near future. Website Update( www.arundelhabitat.org): Please check the local website occasionally for the latest news. The Renovation Station needs volunteers. Their hours are Thurs. & Fri. 10-5 and Sat. 8-1. They need sales assistance. They have many neat household and repair/renovation items at deeply discounted prices. Their pickup days are Tues. and Wed. and they need drivers for the donated pickup truck. Contact Leslie at 410) 384-0212 x. 18 or email. Greeting cards can be purchased on line as well. Hurricane
Katrina Relief Efforts: We’ve
all watched in horror at the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina, and we
pray for the deceased and those whose lives have been affected by this disaster.
Habitat for Humanity International has already begun accepting donations
