Dear Naomi,
We want to thank you for your donation to the Greater Worcester Habitat for Humanity Raising the Roof dinner auction held on April 14, 2005. The event was a great success, with over 200 local business leaders and other Habitat supporters attending. Please note that GWHFH is a 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
The money raised from the event will be used to provide a home for two families in the Greater Worcester area. This winter we completed a duplex to house the DeSoto family and the Culross family. The parents and the six children are now in a safe and decent home, which will provide a stable environment for their lives to unfold.
The Greater Worcester Habitat for Humanity began serving communities in Central Massachusetts in 1985, and has built homes for twenty-three low-income families in the Greater Worcester area. Our mission is to create decent homes in good communities by working in continuing partnership with people in need who are committed and able to become homeowners. Habitat believes that the greatest means to assist families is by providing them with a home ownership opportunity. Simple, decent, and affordable housing can have a profound impact on stabilizing a family and providing for long-term security. The Habitat program is one of empowerment: a hand up, not a hand out. With growing support of the community and businesses like yours, we are increasingly able to offer low income families an interest free mortgage and a chance for a new life in their very own home.
We sincerely thank you for your donation.
Sincerely, The Auction Committee
