On Monday night September 20th, Texas Roadhouse in Williston, Vermont will be holding a charity night to benefit Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity. A portion of the proceeds from the evening’s sales will go directly to support houses under construction this year. Please plan to come out and join us for some tasty vittles and a chance to support Habitat! More information about this event will be posted on our website and Facebook.

Our newest house on Elmwood Avenue is making rapid progress. The second floor is framed and the roof trusses are up already. It was only a little more than a month ago that we had a Women's Build" event at the site that was sponsored by Lowe's with food from the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant. This new two story energy efficient three bedroom home of approximately 1100 ft sq is being built on Elmwood Avenue in Burlington’s “Old North End”. The Habitat Partner Family should be in their new home in the fall of this year.

We had an amazing late spring evening to enjoy all of the festivities, meeting old and new friends alike and celebrating the beginning of this unique project. Read more about this event in the next edition of our Habitat newsletter coming in early August.

A special thank you to all of the individuals, businesses, groups and organizations who helped make this event so successful.

The Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity benefit night at Texas Roadhouse in Williston on Monday, June 28th has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict. A new date in mid September is planned. We will post the new date on our website soon or look for the revised announcement in our Summer Habitat newsletter coming out in August.

Hello Habitat Volunteers,

Construction season is about to get underway and I wanted to let you know that many volunteer opportunities have been posted to our online calendar! You will notice that several say "reserved" beside them and that is because groups have the opportunity to reserve a date to work together. If the group is unable to fill all the volunteer openings for a day, the remaining slots are opened up for individuals to fill approximately 10 days prior to the work day. Volunteers are able to register for openings until 24 hours before the start time (typically 8:00 a.m.). This allows the house director time to plan according to the number of volunteers registered.

Please check out our online calendar and see if there are openings that fit into your schedule. If you are available to help out, please click the link below (or copy it into your browser) to register.

If you are not available for any of the open dates, please check back periodically because more volunteer opportunities are being added over the next month.

Thank you for supporting Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity,

Amy Richardson
Volunteer Coordinator
