Build on the Green 2016
Saturday, May 21
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
on the
Guilford Green
Next stop on May 21...M!X Design Store to shop and purchase unique and wonderful items! M!X is donating 20% of their May 21 sales to Raise the Roof. Shop at this community-minded store! Thank you, M!X!
 
Build slots for the Build on the Green have filled but check back often to see if there has been a cancellation. There are openings for Clean Up, preparing and loading the walls for transport and storage until their use in our next Habitat house. Check the online event registration for openings here.
Thank you to The Marketplace at Guilford Food Center and the employees for choosing Raise the Roof as their April charity! Thank you to the patrons who shared their change in the "Change for Charities" tip jars. Your generosity is going toward the building of Raise the Roof's thirteenth Habitat house. 
Thank you to Blue State Coffee, a business that donates 2% of sales to local nonprofit organizations suggested by their customers. Four local nonprofit organizations are chosen at each of their stores twice a year for a six-month period, and Raise the Roof was chosen by the York Street store in New Haven for the second half of 2015. Each time a customer makes a purchase, he or she may vote for one of the four nonprofits the store is supporting at that time. Blue State Coffee then allocates 2% of sales based on the number of votes each organization receives during the six-month donation period. Raise the Roof recently received a wonderful check from Blue State Coffee, which is going toward the funding of our next Habitat build. Thank you, Blue State Coffee and the many customers who voted for us!
