Sandy relief, up and moving today this Sunday..we welcome St Marys Richmond, Virginia…coming in today to help with our Sandy relief efforts…we are work to help the move away a hurricane out of homes….we have been doing amazing work and are still there, people cant believe it…they don’t want to think about it..in the beginning everyone was helping..now I have to get Virginia people in  to help..where churches and synagogues will sing this weekend, but no one helps…in ny..i don’t understand.

We need to keep going for sure…so thank you Virginia. This is the most traveled time in our history of volunteers, this week….wont you bring your congregation out for Sandy relief@

#Veterans initaitives…we are moving ahead strong! On a national call this week, we are honored to be seen as one of the strongest vets habitat in the country! I was on the initial habitat veteran steering committee nationally.  From there we have evolved.  Yesterday two more vets who needed housing came across to join us. God is bringing new veterans ever y day.  Our young veterans habitat club is strong, bar none. I started this effort with wounded warrior Victoria, who now has graduated college and is a nurse…about five years ago.  Our veterans outreach has been longer than that, for sure.  And now. We see new Vets come to us. We have hired Vets like Jason and Ron Marines who work in our Restore and in our Sandy relief. Also Gerald who is our construction manager with a baby on the way.   Mike and Nikki will move in shortly to see us have them assist with them having a new life, a new home on Battle Hill, Yonkers.  And in New Rochelle we are ready to convert a floor of our headquarters into a condo for a Veteran. Its time..every vet a home and a job. 

BuildersCamp..now with our Builders camp full steam ahead, we still have time to have you sign up. People get a tool belt, instruction, and on the job training…amazing! We love our Builders camp which will go into a Buildlers school this fall. Amazing…

In all we do and say we give THANKS TO GOD For you, our readers, our donors..please donate today, we need it! God bless you!
