Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with Habitat homeowner (partner) families and volunteers. Habitat homes are sold to partner families at no profit and are financed with affordable, zero-interest loans. The homeowner is responsible for the monthly mortgage payment. The revenue received from the mortgage payments is used to support Habitat programs. For more information please see Habitat for Humanity’s website at www.habitatsouthpalmbeach.org

To volunteer contact Brenda Roe.

American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY) is the national resource for the support of children who are caring for ill, injured, elderly, or disabled family members.

Do you know a caregiving youth? If you know a young person who is caring for a family member, encourage them to contact us at 1-800-725-2512.

Would you like to help a caregiving youth? If you would like to volunteer with AACY and help a local caregiving youth, please call 561-391-7401 or email info@aacy.org.

An estimated 1.4 million U.S. children take care of ailing parents, grandparents, and siblings. The United Methodist Church has created a video about AACY and Connie Siskowski, a United Methodist and member of our church, who was inspired to create this organization to support child caregivers. Connie was also named one of CNN’s 2012 Heroes (video.) A more detailed video about what AACY is all about can be seen here.  For more information, please go to www.aacy.org or call 561-391-7401.

Volunteers are needed for our Welcome Wagon on the East Campus to greet and assist visitors with information about our church. Can you be a greeter once a month after the service you attend? It’s easy and fun! Contact Jill Haire 561-395-1244 x123 for more information or to volunteer.
