Habitat needs volunteers in all kinds of capacities! If you

position below, please contact

Different ways to help Habitat:
New Construction Committee! We
are inviting the community to be involved with the creation and guidance
of our construction committee. This committee will help guide Habitat’s
construction policies, develop our green building program and much
more. We will meet every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30. The
first meeting is Feb. 10th at 6:30. Contact Phil Miller, Operations
Director to find our more. 303-674-1127 Ext. 4 or pmiller@bluesprucehabitat.org.
Hard Hats and High Heels Committee. We
are just beginning the process of planning a signature fundraising
event for Blue Spruce Habitat – the Hard Hats and High Heels
event to take place this summer. Please contact Pandora Reagan,
Development Director if you would like to be involved with this wonderful
event and great group of people. 303-674-1127 Ext. 3 preagan@bluesprucehabitat.org.
Family Services Committee. This committee meets
every first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. The Family Services
Committee has the task of selecting the neediest families based on
certain criteria and once selected, the future homeowner is partnered
with a family support person (someone from the committee that is
willing to be a support partner). This one-on-one relationship is
the oldest, most effective and most popular form of family support
utilized by Habitat for Humanity affiliates.
Partner families or homeowners who have this type of relationship
with a committee member seem better able to communicate with the
affiliate and have a better understanding of the building process.
That partner acts as a liaison between the homeowner and Blue Spruce
Habitat and helps the homeowner with any questions and to give support
through the building process.
Another function of this committee are to advertise for the orientation
meeting that is held once a year. This is an informational
meeting for prospective homeowners to gain information about Blue
Spruce Habitat’s requirements for home ownership and to fill
out an application to start that process.
There are also pot luck dinners or informational gatherings periodically
to introduce current homeowners, meet with the staff and to socialize
with each other. This is a wonderful committee to be involved
with. Come join us! Contact
Susan to find out more.
