Walked into our conference room yesterday and found a room full of people helping someone get closer to homeownership. ❤️
Volunteers from Bell Socialization Services, Inc. were helping prepare our mailers, with more than 3,500 letters going out to local residents. They’re donating their volunteer hours toward the sweat equity requirements of their coworker Shelda, a woman in our homeownership program. Among the group was another member of the Bell team who is already a Habitat homeowner, now helping a coworker work toward that same milestone.
Every envelope represents a little more progress for Shelda and another opportunity to connect someone in our community with Habitat’s work. Without these volunteers, getting this mailing ready would have taken us so much longer.
There’s something pretty incredible about people giving their time to help someone else move forward and finding joy in being part of that journey. We’re so grateful for the generosity of our friends at Bell.
There are many ways to volunteer with us - this is just one! To find an opportunity that’s right for you, please email Isabell at [email protected] or visit https://www.yorkhabitat.org/volunteer.html.
