Deanery Partnership with Habitat for Humanity
We’re excited to announce that the Brandywine Deanery of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania is developing a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Chester County. Our Deanery is seeking to provide 10 volunteers (total, combined) out of our 15 parishes to work with Habitat on the 3rd Saturday of each month, beginning in July 2024. Signup here. Questions can be sent here.
From Habitat: Join us for the Habitat experience by volunteering at our construction site! Habitat builds four days a week, year-round, rain or shine. No construction experience is necessary and Habitat staff guides volunteers through a meaningful day of home-building. Habitat for Humanity of Chester County has expanded its mission to include a Home Repair program designed to help our partners address critical health and safety issues in their homes, accessibility issues for seniors and people with disabilities, and housing code violations. Providing home repairs help to alleviate substandard living conditions and preserve existing affordable housing stock throughout Chester County. The repairs are considered critical when they improve the health, safety, accessibility, and/or energy efficiency of residents and their homes.
- Opportunities are available for individuals and groups and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- You must be at least 16 years of age to work on site and able to volunteer for a full day (8:30-3:30 with an hour break for lunch).
- Volunteers 16 and 17 years of age must have a chaperone age 21 or older accompany them on the job site
- The Brandywine Deanery would field a team of 10 volunteers on the 3rd Saturday of each month (July, August, and September for now).
