Dear Friends & Family,

On June 25th, I will be participating in Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Work Day program. Along with other Master Gardener Habitat volunteers, I will be helping to build a modest home for a hard-working, single Mom family in Bridgewater - not far from Main Street in Somerville.

Decent, affordable housing is scarce in Somerset and Hunterdon counties, forcing many low-income families to live in overcrowded, unsafe conditions. The Women Build program challenges women to build a better future for the children of central New Jersey by addressing the problem of substandard housing. By participating in Women Build, I will be giving other women and their families a “hand up” by helping them to build a home of their own. These homes are very energy efficient and the ones we will be working on are having solar installed on the roofs thanks to generous donations from local companies.

With your help, I hope to make a real difference in the lives of a local family. My personal goal is $1,000. The Women Build Team’s goal is $100,000. Any pledge amount you can offer will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Your friend,

Judy Pfister
