Habitat for Humanity Newark (HFHN)
is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to building simple, decent homes
for low income families in Essex County New Jersey. We build homes with
hardworking partner families who supply over 400 hours of sweat equity. HFHN
finances the home purchase with no interest mortgages. We are proud that 68
families have benefited from homes built with generous donations and by
thousands of volunteers.
Plan now to take yourself out to
the ball game -- at beautiful Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium. A
whole week July 13, 14, 15 and 16 will be dedicated to Habitat for
Humanity Week. Half the ticket sales will go towards building the
Newark Bears House at HFHN. Click here for

Do not
withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to
act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it
tomorrow" - when you now have it with you. -Proverbs 3:27-28
