Don’t forget that tomorrow is the Summer Block Party at The Village at Leesburg. The event will be celebrating the official ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Kristen C. Umstattd! Proceeds from the Summer Block Party event will benefit the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity Chapter. The Loudoun Habitat Chapter was established in 1993 and has been building homes for deserving citizens even since. As with all Habitat affiliates, the Loudoun Chapter is a Christian-based organization powered by local volunteers.

Since its establishment, the Loudoun Chapter has completed sustainable homes for fourteen families. Recently, the organization has started the Loudoun ReStore project. The project is designed to be a resale business, which sells used building materials and various home appliances. The resale items are accepted as donations and are sold to the public at a discounted price, usually half of the current retail price. For more information on the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity Chapter check out their video below. Be sure to also view their website at www.loudounhabitat.org for volunteer opportunities.
