This past Sunday, Bill Mersch of Habitat for Humanity came to speak with our congregation about the importance of affordable homes. Despite the lack of any boards to buy at our “Buy-a-Board” event afterwards, WCUC members and friends contributed a total of $1,600 for affordable housing.  We’ve already received a gracious letter thanking us  for strengthening families and communities. Our gifts will be combined with those from other faith communities to build a house as part of the Lowell Revitalization Project.

Thanks to everyone who participated in learning and giving! Learn more about our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity here.
