The
Carpenters' Club
How exciting it is to see a family, who has always lived in substandard housing, make the move into their first "real" home - a home built by the Roswell community through Habitat For Humanity. And equally exciting is for Habitat to be able to begin the next home for another family anxiously waiting to help build it with us and buy it through a twenty-year, no interest loan.
The
average cost for a Habitat house in Roswell is $36.00
per square foot. We are looking for 500 "Carpenters" or units (individuals, organizations, churches) willing to give at least $25.00 toward a Habitat house each time Roswell Habitat builds a house. Your $25.00 combined with the gifts of the other 499 "Carpenters" would provide $12,500. That is what it takes to pour the foundation and raise the frame of the next Habitat home for a low-income family needing our partnership in their effort to have a decent, affordable place to live.
Just $25.00 from caring people can keep Roswell's needy moving into a decent home and can keep Habitat For Humanity Roswell moving on to help others. Please consider becoming one of our "Carpenters". Or ask your Sunday School class, Church group or organization to become a "Carpenter". Ten people in your group could pledge $10.00 perhouse, allowing the group to become "Carpenters" at the $100.00 level. These gifts are tax deductible as well.

The dream of the Carpenters' Club is to reach a membership of 1,500. That number of $25.00 level members would provide enough money to complete a new home every year in Roswell. With your help and the help of others, we can reduce poverty housing - one house at a time and provide a decent home for Roswell residents.
Please pick up your hammer now! Click on "Join the Builders Club" button below. Complete the form and e-mail or snail mail it today and become a "Carpenter". It is a simple concept, AND it works. Won't you join us?
Every
Habitat house built in Roswell not only blesses the family
living in it, it benefits the entire Roswell community: Vacant
property is developed, the city tax rolls increase, and whole
neighborhoods take on a new look. |

We
hope to announce in our next newsletter that many in the
Roswell community have enrolled in The Carpenters' Club. Businesses and churches are encouraged
to join in this partnership too. As we enjoy our own homes,
let's help more Roswell families
with their dream of a decent home. |
