Nassau Habitat for Humanity (NHFH) is a local volunteer organization affiliated with Habitat for Humanity® International, a Christian inspired ministry whose mission is to build decent, affordable housing in the US and around the world.
NHFH is run by a local board of directors who raise funds; select families, building sites and house plans; supervise construction and administer the mortgages. NHFH began building homes in 1993. In May 2012, Nassau Habitat completed its 31st home.
Homes are built for families meeting the requirements outlined here. Donations and volunteer labor finance construction. The homes are sold at cost to qualified families through an interest free mortgage issued by NHFH.
Habitat families are selected without regard to religion, race, ethnic background, family status or disability.
My daughter had the chance to volunteer and help someone in need. She spent countless hours on her days off building and making a difference. Its always special when you see people helping and volunteering their own time. I'm grateful for community service organizations that put together great programs for those in need.
If you want to see how other folks are doing their part to volunteer actively, I urge you to check out the Advil® Relief in Action program. The campaign honors and supports people who don’t let pain get in the way of helping others. Advil® is also donating to Habitat for Humanity and Wounded Warrior Project® for every bottle sold. Advil® is helping volunteers get the relief they need, and get back to giving back. If you want to share your own story of active volunteerism, post a photo on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and tag it with #ReliefinAction.
