Habitat For Humanity Offers Orientation For Potential Home Owners

MONTGOMERY, IL – Local residents who are interested in becoming future homeowners through the Fox Valley Habitat For Humanity initiative are invited to participate in an upcoming virtual meeting which is the first step in being considered for a new home.

The orientation meetings are being offered on Zoom and will be required for local residents interested in the Habitat For Humanity program. The meetings will be held in English on Zoom at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 27, at 10 a.m. on Jan. 28 and at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 16, organizers said.
