It will now be held at the Oneonta Country Club on Sunday, September 19th. Phone Tom Norris (607-436-9227) or the Country Club (607-432-8950) for more information.

NOTE: Construction is now ONLY on SATURDAYs, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Come help us build.

We need LAND lotsa' LAND under starry skies above!

The volunteers are ready and waiting. The money . . . well there always could be more. And we have accepted families waiting in line. But right now for us, its the LAND that we need most. We need land in order to build for our deserving families. HELP in the form of ideas, connections, donations, and gifts would be greatly appreciated!  Email or call (607-432-7874) us.

A gift of LAND – we need building lots all around Otsego County. Donations are great, but if you have some land you’d like to sell, we may buy it if the location and price are right.

Donations

Honor a loved one with a donation in their name to your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Please contact Habitat International and designate your gift for Habitat for Humanity of Otsego County Click Here to Donate to Habitat International!

We are currently looking for a building plots in the Oneonta and Cooperstown School District. If you are able to donate a plot, anywhere in the county, please either email us or call 432-7874.

Our WISH LIST:
This is a list of stuff that we sure wish we had. If you are of a mind to donate any of these things, we’d be proud to take it. And remember, your donations are tax-deductible and we can supply you with a receipt. Call our office at 432-7874 and Trish will gladly talk with you about how you can help.

Pennies from Heaven:
Cash – we are always grateful to receive, in any amount. And stop by our office to check out our Habitat merchandise – books, hammers, notecards – all priced to sell!

All your worldly goods:
We urgently need refreshments for our laborers. Lunches, morning snacks, and cases of bottled water, juice, iced tea, lemonade, and sports beverages would be terrific.
We could really use a foldable plastic picnic table, to replace the extremely heavy wooden table that we currently schlep to and from our worksites.
And, for our public relations and speaking engagements, we would really love a “Show Style” brand display briefcase. It’s sort of like a tri-fold poster board, but very sturdy, durable, and portable.

A gift of LAND – we need building lots all around Otsego County. Donations are great, but if you have some land you’d like to sell, we may buy it if the location and price are right.

We need people to volunteer behind the scenes on our family, fundraising, public relations, and volunteer committees. And people for our Board of Directors. For a relatively small donation of your time, you will receive a world of fun and friendship in return.
We would like a person who has the experience and contacts to promote us to local and county governments.
We would also like a person with photo/video experience who could develop a promotional video!
And if you have specific building skills to bring to the site
(and maybe a desire to teach or lead a small crew) – wow!
