Planned Needs from Saint James Team Leader, Julia Witmer Gallagher:
By May, the St. Joseph Street home will be completed!! This is good news that St. Joseph Street is progressing so fast, so we can get Kenya (see photo below) in her new home faster than we thought! We have worked together to firm up details on another great opportunity for the Saint James Team: helping to build and fit out the New Restore at 155 Independence Court in Lancaster, which will further Habitat’s mission. In addition to the increased retail space, the New Restore will have room for Habitat offices, a warehouse and distribution center. The old restore building is simply not large enough to accommodate the growing demand.
We work with volunteers of ALL SKILL LEVELS (No prior construction experience necessary all the way up to those who work in the trade). Training provided, including safety. We look to fill 7 slots daily. Below is the signup link:

Please note: When you sign up, be sure to scroll down and select “Restore” in the dropdown, (not “Construction”). In the signup module, please disregard any instructions about volunteering at the retail Restore. You will be helping to build and fit out the New Restore, and will not be involved in the retail operation.
