The Pope Francis House Wall Raising September 2nd!
Upcoming Event- The Pope Francis House Wall Raising September 2nd!
Join us as we lift the walls on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (rain or shine) at 51 George Street, Bridgeport, CT, the future site of Habitat CFC’s Pope Francis House. The Wall Raising will begin with a brief program followed by an actual “wall raising” which will be done by representatives from local educational institutions, working alongside Habitat volunteers and families. With the Pope’s arrival in the United States this month, Bridgeport is able to mark this momentous occasion with a Wall Raising for a house named in his honor.
You can help by volunteering or just come to watch as some heavy lifting turns a foundation into a house!

President Jimmy Carter
Habitat CFC has learned of President Carter’s announcement regarding his health.
The thoughts and prayers of the entire Habitat for Humanity family go out to President and Mrs. Carter as he begins his treatment.
Each year since 1984, President and Mrs. Carter have given a week of their time to help us improve and build homes around the world. Their efforts help raise awareness of the critical need for simple, decent and affordable housing.
We will keep Habitat friends and family informed on President Carter’s progress.
