Congratulations to HFHDC’s three nominees for the United Way Community Volunteer Awards! These awards recognize individuals, families, groups, and businesses who strengthen our community through volunteering.

Jim Peterson has been a regular volunteer with Habitat for five years.  He works in our warehouse coordinating operations there, maintaining inventory, and repairing equipment.  Jim has also created and coordinated Habitat’s efforts to recycle and reduce construction waste. 

Oregon High School’s Home Construction Course students have spent the last several months building a home for Habitat for Humanity of Dane County.  Building a 1 unit condo in a 4 unit building, the students were able to learn and practice their carpentry skills and gain a better understanding of Habitat’s affordable housing program in Dane County.  The unit will be sold to the Borntrager family in May.

Target Commercial Interiors not only provides financial support to Habitat, but makes an employee investment of time. The company provides employee volunteer support to HFHDC, is a major sponsor of the Benefit Dinner and Golf Outing, makes product donations to the Habitat ReStore and provides committee meeting space.

Thank you to all of this year’s nominees.  With your help, Habitat for Humanity of Dane County is able to provide low-income families with the opportunity to own homes and provide safe, secure environments for their children.  Award winners will be announced April 22.
