Dear Volunteer,

Thank you very much for your interest in volunteering for Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Monmouth County. Our work area is in the northeastern part of Monmouth County. We started in 1993 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, an organization which has been helping low income families achieve the dream of home ownership for more than two decades.

We completed our first house, a renovation, in Long Branch in 1996. Since then we have constructed 6 more in Long Branch, two in Middletown, and two in Red Bank. Besides Saturdays, we work on Wednesdays to accommodate volunteers in Corporations who are given time off to volunteer.

Habitat depends entirely on its volunteers to accomplish its mission. We're looking forward to your help in construction and/or any of the other activities that may interest you. You may put in as much or as little time as you wish.

At the present time we are working on finding land to build more affordable houses. We are planning to build a house in Keansburg in the near future. In the meantime, we are undertaking a new venture intended to help low income families improve the condition of their homes. While Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Monmouth County will provide all labor at no cost, we will not need as many volunteers as we do when we are building a house from scratch. However, if we do need extra help, we will notify volunteers by email.

Short descriptions of various volunteer activities are provided on the attached sheet titled, "Volunteer Opportunities". We desperately need help on some of our committees. If you would like to discuss any of them, please feel free to ask. I will try to answer your questions and refer you to volunteers on the committees you're interested in.

Please fill out the enclosed application and return it to the address above or email to: bevlawrence@comcast.net

On behalf of Habitat, I welcome you to the organization and look forward to meeting you.

Sincerley,

Bev Lawrence
