Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity has “passed the baton” to the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School.  The students will be doing rough plumbing and electrical work throughout the winter at Habitat’s current build on Minot Avenue in Wareham.  The students will receive valuable on-the-job training while, at the same time, enriching the community by helping a family attain affordable housing. 

“We’re extremely happy to have the participation of Upper Cape’s instructors and students,” says Bob Brady, from Habitat’s Build Committee.

In the spring, Buzzards Bay Area Habitat will seek volunteers to finish the home to be occupied by Jennifer Howlett and her children.  Individuals or groups who would like to share their weekend time and skills should visit Habitat’s website at BuzzardsBayHabitat.org, and click on the ‘Volunteer Now’ button.   Special thanks to the 99 Restaurant, Hong Kong, Mezza Luna, Shooters, Papa Gino’s, Stop & Shop, and Shaws for providing volunteers with lunches - one of the perks of becoming a Habitat volunteer is free lunch!

Habitat International’s mission is to provide a “simple, decent place to live” for those in need. 

Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity mirrors that sentiment and adds: “Through community volunteerism, we empower hard working, deserving families in need, the realization of their dream of home ownership.”  Habitat’s mission is accomplished with the help from dedicated volunteers/suppliers like:  Bruce Packard of Little Harbor Builders, David Zorn of Shoreline Remodeling, Dale Holmes, Donald Kahrman, Sherman Briggs, Chet of Chet’s Plumbing and E.L. Morse Lumber.
