ABOUT SOUTH SHORE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Since 1986, South Shore Habitat for Humanity has worked alongside family partners and thousands of volunteers to build 63 homes in local communities, to provide shelter, stability, and self-reliance for 114 adults and 213 children. Working in partnership with 32 towns and cities, the organization builds affordable homes for low to moderate-income families. Selected families help build their homes side-by-side with hundreds of volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.
ABOUT DEDHAM SAVINGS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

These communities generally, but not exclusively, include Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Sharon, South Boston, Walpole, and Westwood. Typical requests are usually received from such organizations as schools, libraries, family service organizations and non-profit organizations. The Trustees of the Foundation will accept grant requests from community organizations and make awards twice a year.
