How We Operate

The Millstone Basin Affiliate serves the New Jersey communities of Cranbury, East Windsor, Hightstown, Plainsboro, Washington Twp. and West Windsor as an independent unit of Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety. Habitat has an open-door policy: all who desire to be a part of this work are welcome, regardless of race, color or creed.

It is within this charter that we require periodic donations to fund our operations so that we can carry out our mandate and goals to provide safe, affordable, decent housing for those in need in our area.

Upcoming Events


Annual Pancake Breakfast

The Millstone Basin affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International will again be holding its popular pancake breakfast fundraiser at St. Anthony's Church Parish Hall on February 24, 2008 from 8:30 AM to 12:00.

Every year for the past nine we have been running this event as a way to raise money for our home-building efforts in and around Hightstown and East Windsor as well as a way to share a great breakfast with friends.

To date, the Millstone basin Affiliate has completed a renovation of a duplex in Robbinsville and seven new homes in East Windsor.  In addition to revitalizing property, the new owners have developed  a community and a neighborhood committed to a better future.  Planning is underway to begin construction of our next home in 2008 but before we can do that we need to raise sufficient funds to buy more land in our affiliate area.

There are two ways to help us raise these necessary funds:

  • The first is very simple, come join us on February 24th 2008 at our pancake breakfast. The cost is $6.00 per adult and $3.00 per child or $20.00 for an entire family.
  • The second way to help out is to become one of our event sponsors. Adding a Business card advertisement to our placemat only costs $50.00.  A minimal contribution of $25.00 will be recognized  by inclusion in a "directory style" layout (which will include name, address and phone number/email) on placemat. Additional contribution levels are also available.  For more information on becoming a sponsor, please click here.

 

Special thanks to GMAC for helping a family's dreams come true

We wish to extend an extra-special gesture of gratitude to GMAC for sponsoring the entire $53,000 cost of our sixth partner home. Without them, this wonderful gift would not have been possible and we know that the Lewis family will be eternally grateful. Thanks, GMAC! Click here to read more about the Lewis home project.

How does Habitat fund operations? As the Millstone Basin Area affiliate is run nearly entirely by unpaid volunteers, we depend on the generosity of our community to help achieve our goals. Click here to read about how your donations are helping our area's families.

Don't have construction skills? That's OK! Many of our volunteers first learned to swing a hammer working on one of our houses. If the construction of a home isn't something that appeals to you, you can help in many other ways, including helping to organize fundraisers in your company or community, volunteering your time with the organization, or others.
