On January 28th, volunteers worked to install 11 Raymond’s new windows!

Habitat GCNY officially kicked off its new construction schedule today!  On Thursday, January 12, 2012, Habitat volunteers gathered to continue working on 11 Raymond Avenue. The volunteers worked on interior framing projects on the first two floors of the house. Some of the pictures can be found below.

Remember, if you would like to become involved with Habitat GCNY, please give our office a call or visit us on our construction site.

The Habitat Center

In addition to working on residential homes with our partner families, we are currently building a new home for our affiliate. Located at 230 Ellicott Street, the Habitat Center will soon become the home to both our affiliate main office and the ReStore. In September 2010, Chuck Brumsted donated the property to us. To many people, the building is remembered as Cristina’s Italian Bistro which was partially destroyed by a fire in 2008. Currently, we’ve obtained a building permit and the renovation project has begun.

*Special thanks to R.A. Haitz Co. for donating their time, labor, and materials towards completing the entire Habitat Center roof. To learn more about R.A. Haitz Co. and their services, check out their website. http://www.rahaitz.com
