Raise the Roof for Habitat for Humanity

    Come to an old-fashioned Barn Raising on the Madison Green on May 7, 2011!

     Madison Cares is a local not-for-profit organization that brings together shoreline area residents to sponsor Habitat for Humanity projects in the city of New Haven CT.

     May 7th is "Raise the Roof - Habitat for Humanity Day" in Madison. Madison Cares and Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven will stage a live ‘build’ in downtown Madison.  The day-long event will include multiple sites throughout the center of Madison, beginning with the Town Green, where volunteers can assist in pre-building parts of a Habitat for Humanity home. These sections will then be transported to one of Habitat’s home sites in New Haven once completed. 

     Details about this day-long event are on the Madison Cares home page.

    The event will also feature on the Green entertainment by local musicians, live demonstrations about home maintenance, and a silent auction of bird houses, "Best of the Nest," creatively decorated and donated by local fine artists. Volunteers will also be able to donate to Madison Cares/Habitat for Humanity by purchasing a ‘virtual’ piece of the next home.
