Help Gunn Square Habitat for Humanity project

Join Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield and help with its summer 2010 project with Habitat for Humanity.


View Larger Map

On Saturday, June 26, 2010, a team of volunteers from Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield will help with the ongoing construction of a home located at 19 Gunn Square in Springfield.

The group will meet at the church (on Rt. 20) at 8:00 a.m. and then travel to Gunn Square for an 8:30 a.m. start. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

With funding assistance for the build provided by the Western Massachusetts chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield has already pledged $1,000 toward this year’s build, raised from the church’s June rummage sale.

If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity (which is a great way for first-time Habitat for Humanity volunteers to get involved), email Martha, Grace’s Habitat for Humanity congregational liaison.
