Housatonic Habitat receives community support

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity was recently the non-profit of the month at Stop & Shop, New Milford. Nearly 500 shoppers supported Housatonic Habitat’s mission of building work-force homes in Greater Danbury by purchasing Stop & Shop Community Bags. For each community bag purchased, Housatonic Habitat received a $1 donation.

Housatonic Habitat will also receive proceeds from the community bag program at Stop & Shop Lake Avenue Extension, Danbury during the month of September. Customers who purchase Stop & Shop Community Bags at other Stop & Shop locations and after September may also direct their donations by visiting mystopandshopcause.com, completing the form, and selecting Housatonic Habitat as their charity of choice.

“We are delighted to partner with Stop & Shop and help the environment at the same time,” said Fran Normann, Executive Director of Housatonic Habitat. “The proceeds from this fundraiser will support Housatonic Habitat’s mission.”

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity focuses on making a meaningful difference in the lives of qualified working families by promoting financial stability and self-sufficiency through ownership of affordable homes. Households often consist of those who have limited assets and who have jobs that also have income caps.
