Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Washington County has a mission to provide safe, decent, and affordable homes for low-income families in need. Habitat is a hand-up, not a hand-out.  Families contribute hundreds of hours of "sweat equity"and pay back a no profit, no interest home loan with affordable monthly payments.  Families also take financial management classes and gain skills for self-sufficiency and successful homeownership.

 

 

 

Volunteer Spotlight - Cheryl Saylor   by Karla Davis        

Cheryl Saylor“She’s an amazing woman who gives in any way she can and all the while in a quiet manner, not seeking the limelight,” is how Executive Director Sherry Brown Cooper describes Habitat volunteer Cheryl Saylor.

For the past 15 years Cheryl has been involved with Habitat and as she looks at the affiliate’s record of accomplishments over that time span, she says, “I’m amazed to see that a few paid staff, but  mostly volunteers, different people from different walks of life make it all happen.”

Her tenure didn’t begin dramatically but rather like Cheryl herself, quietly and purposefully, “I think I got involved because I had always admired Habitat,” she said.  “I went to a general meeting and I started volunteering in the office.”    read more

Citi Partners with Habitat to Build Better Futures  by Maureen Theriault   

There is something exciting happening at Citi in Hagerstown and around the country—a cCiti Teamorporate mission to support the regions where its facilities are located with financial contributions, leadership expertise, and volunteer resources. Habitat for Humanity of Washington County is fortunate to have Citi in its community. 

Cassandra Latimer, senior manager of public relations at Citi and Habitat board president, says enthusiasm for Habitat is infectious. Cassandra explains, "Citi is a cornerstone partner with Habitat because it feels very strongly that giving back to the local community is important. We appreciate that Habitat offers a hand up and not a hand out to families by requiring sweat equity in building their homes and participating in financial education. Working together, we provide families with a stable home environment where they can build financial assets and reach their dreams."  read more
