Spring Valley, NY – We are currently in the process of locating land for our next new build. This new home will eventually be paired with a Partner Family from our community in need of safe, affordable housing for their family. You can help Habitat by making a donation towards the purchase of the land! Do you have an old car you can donate to Habitat? All proceeds from donated cars go towards the purchase and building of affordable housing. Together we achieve neighborhood beautification and build a stronger tomorrow for our entire community. Please consider donating to Habitat today.

Wheelchair Ramp Program – Habitat for Humanity of Rockland has a handicapped ramp program for disabled, low income and fixed income homeowners. The program sends someone out to evaluate your house and to review your need for the home modification. The homeowner supplies the materials for the builds or sometimes they can be donated and Habitat supplies the volunteer carpenters to build the ramp. We are proud to report that we recently completed TWO handicap ramps for a single mother with a disabled teenager who was mostly house bound and for a woman whose son was killed in the military.

Please donate what you can so that TOGETHER we can help a Rockland family in need.

Habitat of Rockland P.O. Box 329 Spring Valley, N.Y. 10977 (845) 354-5635 Info@HFHR.org
