Support Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity
Dear Friends,
In order for the Greater
Manchester Habitat for Humanity
to fulfill our mission we need
your help! Habitat works in
partnership with caring people
such as yourself to build and renovate decent, affordable
housing. These are not extravagant houses, just nice, comfortable
places to live without fear or worry.
Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment
and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds
of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building
their Habitat house and the houses of others. In order to
keep these homes as affordable as possible, they are sold
with no profit and a 0.0% interest loan.
Money from this loan then returns to a revolving account to
build more homes. This is not a hand out, but a hand up!
Ways you can help:

The Mall of
New Hampshire has announced a great way to kick
off your holiday shopping and help Greater Manchester
Habitat for Humanity at the same time. The
16th Annual Simon Evening of Giving is a special one
night only, after-hours shopping event to be held on
November 23rd from 6:00-9:30 pm. To attend this
private evening of festivities just purchase your ticket
for $10.00 from Greater Manchester Habitat for Humanity.
This is a great fund raising opportunity with $7.00
from each ticket we sell going to Manchester Habitat
and the remaining $3.00 to the Simon Youth Foundation
which helps at-risk youth achieve their goal of going
to college. Tickets are available until Nov. 20th. For

affordable. Any donations should be tax deductible, but
