Swing a Hammer For Habitat!

As you may (or may not) know, Habitat for Humanity Waukesha County is opening a HomeStore in downtown Waukesha. A HomeStore, like Milwaukee Habitat’s ReStore, is a retail store that sells new and very gently used building materials to the general public, keeping tons of construction “waste” out of landfills each year and raising thousands of dollars to build more Habitat homes. The donations have been pouring in and the grand opening is right around the corner, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to the retail space to get it up and running. If you’ve been looking for a chance to swing a hammer – or swipe a drywall knife, or use power tools, or roll a paint roller – Now’s your chance!  Habitat is in need of as many volunteers
as we can get in the next few weeks. If you can donate your time, please call Dawn Heller at 262-271-8833.

Desperate Need For Volunteer Drivers!

Help deliver a hot noon meal to homebound individuals once a week or twice a month who are unable to fix a meal for themselves.  There is a critical need in Brookfield, Butler, Hartland, Menomonee Falls, Muskego, Sussex and Waukesha. Individuals, friends, couples, people even help over their lunch time, picking up 8 to 10 meals, delivering them and returning the food carrier and back to work. Mileage reimbursement provided so call 262-548-7829 remembering that going the extra mile has its own reward.

Young Adult Team Leaders

We are putting together a Young Adult Team. If you would be interested in helping to build up the Young Adults in the areas of
spiritual, social and service.

• Post College - 29 year olds married or single, 30-35 year olds married or single.

Access to Reliable Used Cars Needed!

St. Dominic – SVDP occasionally (1 to 2 times a year) comes across clients in need of a reliable car.

Yet they need transportation for work or family.  Do you have a car sitting unused that you would be willing to store until such a need
arises? Call 262-781-3480, Ext. 228 and leave a message. Thanks!
