Dear Friends,

 

On May 7th Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity (GSHFH) will be hosting our annual Men Can Cook fundraising dinner to coincide with National Women Build Week. Women Build 2013 is a national campaign sponsored by Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). During the weeklong event held prior to Mother’s Day, women devote at least one day to the effort of eliminating substandard housing. This is the perfect opportunity for you to deliver a thoughtful, charitable, early Mother’s Day gift.

 

This year’s event will have a Latin theme with food, musical entertainment and a blitz build. The most entertaining part of the night will surely be that we have local men serving as our waiters for the evening—including Mayor Domenic Sarno! We hope to raise $10,000 through Men Can Cook to support lowincome families in need.

 

GSHFH is a housing organization dedicated to strengthening communities by empowering lowincome families to change their lives—and the lives of future generations—through home ownership opportunities. This is accomplished by working in partnership with diverse people from all walks of life to build simple, decent, and affordable homes.

 

GSHFH has helped over 50 families in the last 25 years realize their dreams of homeownership and safety for their families. The June 1, 2011 tornado dramatically increased the need of families in the Springfield area. Please these families and others turn dreams into reality by supporting events like this one.

 

The following will outline details in how to sponsor this annual event. We hope you will help us eliminate substandard housing in the greater Springfield area.

In Partnership, Jack Toner

Men Can Cook Committee Chair
