Our biggest need is land!

We are currently looking for a building plots in the Oneonta and Cooperstown School District. If you are able to donate a plot, or know of some inexpensive land for sale anywhere in the county, please either email us or call 432-7874

This is a list of stuff that we sure wish we had. If you are of a mind to donate any of these things, we’d be proud to take it. And remember, your donations are tax-deductible and we can supply you with a receipt. Call our office at 432-7874, leave a message about how you can help, and we'll get back to you..

Pennies from Heaven:
Cash – we are always grateful to receive, in any amount. And stop by our office to check out our Habitat merchandise – books, hammers, notecards – all priced to sell!

All your worldly goods:
We urgently need refreshments for our laborers. Lunches, morning snacks, and cases of bottled water, juice, iced tea, lemonade, and sports beverages would be terrific.
And, for our public relations and speaking engagements, we would really love a “Show Style” brand display briefcase. It’s sort of like a tri-fold poster board, but very sturdy, durable, and portable.

We need people to volunteer behind the scenes on our family, fundraising, public relations, and volunteer committees. And people for our Board of Directors. For a relatively small donation of your time, you will receive a world of fun and friendship in return.
We would like a person who has the experience and contacts to promote us to local and county governments.
We would also like a person with photo/video experience who could develop a promotional video!
And if you have specific building skills to bring to the site
(and maybe a desire to teach or lead a small crew) – wow!

Sign-up as a volunteer, to work with us. Go to our "Volunteer Now" sign-up page.
You'll be asked for some simple information
(We don't use this information to solicit in any way!) If the link doesn't work call (607-432-7874)
