Habitat for Humanity chapter builds up in Rochester and wants students to help

ROCHESTER, N.H. — A year ago, the Habitat for Humanity build site in Rochester was a foundation and a few bare frames. Today it has come together as a house with four walls, a roof, a second story, and mostly installed windows. Based on the progress already made, Habitat is projected to begin interior work before the end of the academic year. The progress has come largely through volunteer labor from various contributors and schools, including University of New Hampshire (UNH) students. Organizers say plenty remains to be done on this project. “It’s fun,” said June Demers, a longtime volunteer and overseer of the Rochester site. “I like meeting all the different people and corporations that come out. It’s also very interesting to watch the interactions between those that work together and learn each other’s skills.” Elizabeth Pollock Inside of the house under construction Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit that builds and repairs homes with the people who will live in them.
