Recruiting for the 2008 build is now over.

On May 5 we started working side by side with our future homeowners in the Paetec Park neighborhood, helping to make their dream of owning an affordable home come true. 114 volunteers worked for 45 days to complete Perinton Habitat's portion of the work on the house. At this point, our work is only a month from completion and we can no longer use additional volunteers. Stay turned--we will repeat this process and will be looking for more volunteers to help us build another house! Meanwhile, you can volunteer directly with Flower City Habitat.

Perinton Congregations Habitat for Humanity is one of six ministries of Ecumenical Ministries of Perinton, Inc and its sister corporation Perinton Ecumenical Ministries, Inc., a coalition of thirteen Perinton Congregations. We are one of several faith-based groups in Monroe County that raises funds and recruits volunteers to build homes for Flower City Habitat, a non-denominational Christian housing ministry welcoming people of all faiths or no faith to help eliminate substandard and poverty housing in Rochester. Since its founding in 1984, Flower City Habitat has built or renovated more than 150 houses, and is one of the largest affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International in the northeastern United States.

In addition to volunteering to help build this house you can help pay for it and future Habitat Homes by contacting our “Buy a Square Foot/Lend a Hand”campaign.

This is the fourth house built by Perinton Congregations since our inception in 1998. We look forward to continuing our cycle of raising funds and recruiting volunteers to build Habitat homes every few years..
