12-15 volunteers needed to assist with construction or remodeling projects on a Habitat house. Volunteers should bring a bag lunch. When signing up, please indicate whether you have tools or experience.
Since Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity began 15 years ago, more than 200 families have purchased their own Habitat homes throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. These families have monthly gross incomes that prevent them from obtaining traditional mortgages and lessen their chances of buying a home. Every family who buys a home from Habitat invests 300-500 hours of "sweat equity" work on their own house and/or other Habitat homes. Habitat then sells them a home at an affordable price and without charging any interest. It takes an average of 4000 volunteer hours to complete each house.

According to recent studies, as many as 2 in every 1000 children born today will be on the autistic spectrum. Autism is more common than Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis or cystic fibrosis. The number of cases of autism spectrum disorders is increasing worldwide. Minnesota experienced a 30% increase in cases in the last year, California had a 280% increase. Nancy (SVTC's co-founder) will be leading this event. Her 4-year old nephew has autism. This will open for sign-up approximately 8 weeks before the walk takes place.

Habitat for Humanity Location to be announced |
12 volunteers needed to assist with construction or remodeling projects on a Habitat house in either Minneapolis or St. Paul. Volunteers should bring a bag lunch.
Since Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity began 15 years ago, more than 200 families have purchased their own Habitat homes throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. These families have monthly gross incomes that prevent them from obtaining traditional mortgages and lessen their chances of buying a home. Every family who buys a home from Habitat invests 300-500 hours of "sweat equity" work on their own house and/or other Habitat homes. Habitat then sells them a home at an affordable price and without charging any interest. It takes an average of 4000 volunteer hours to complete each house.

We need 15 - 20 volunteers to assist with this fundraising event for autism research. We will help set up for the event, register walkers, handout refreshments, and cleanup. Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. The disorder makes it hard to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present. Autism is a national crisis affecting 400,000 families and costing the nation over 13 billion dollars a year. According to recent studies, as many as 2 in every 1000 children born today will be on the autistic spectrum. Autism is more common than Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis or cystic fibrosis. The number of cases of autism spectrum disorders is increasing worldwide. Minnesota experienced a 30% increase in cases in the last year, California had a 280% increase. The goals of TCAS are to provide information and education about autism; to provide advocacy for appropriate services for people with autism and their families; and to provide support for families.
