HOPE is an important message to share with our community. That is one reason that Festival of Hope is joining with Habitat for these days of celebration. You are invited to join your hands and hearts with other volunteers in several opportunities of service to our community.
FIRST, please join Habitat on Tuesday and Wednesday (6:50AM-3PM) as we assist in the completion of a Habitat house on Washington Street in Slidell.
SECOND, Festival will build with Habitat each EVENING on site at the Northshore Harbor Center from 5-7 PM. The actual build site at the Northshore Harbor Center is in the rear of the building. Festival-goers will assemble interior walls that will go into the Washington Street Habitat house. Some will build at night to support the work of others who will build during the day! Who knows- maybe you have the time to work on both sites!
THIRD, Habitat is providing another opportunity for community members to make a difference in Slidell. Festival of Hope is asking that community members, businesses, churches, clubs, families, oganizations help to sponsor an upcoming build in Slidell. Maybe you are unable to volunteer on site for a build but you want to help. You will have the opportunity to sponsor our “SQUARE FOOT PROJECT”. This simple plan will let you be the financial sponsor for a square foot of a 4-bedroom Habitat house. Be planning to give now. Each square foot is only $60.
FOURTH, Habitat will be onsight each evening with a display and personnel to answer your questions.
FIFTH, World Habitat Day is Monday. We hope to have our Festival of Hope build site filled with volunteers.
