Coffee and Causes: Home Repair Help
Nashua, NH – April 5, 2024 – United Way of Greater Nashua is pleased to announce its upcoming Coffee and Causes talk, “Home Repair Help,” scheduled for April 5th at 10:30 am at the Nashua Senior Activity Center located at 70 Temple Street.
This informative event will feature presentations from Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity and the RSVP FixIt program, shedding light on how both organizations extend vital home repair assistance to low to moderate-income homeowners in the Greater Nashua area.
Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity focuses on addressing health and safety concerns through its Critical Home Repair program. By collaborating with volunteer repair crews, the program aids homeowners struggling to maintain their residences due to age, disability, or other family circumstances. Eligible repairs may include the installation of handrails or grab bars, construction of handicap accessible ramps, structural safety improvements, weatherization, and more. The organization endeavors to minimize costs for families, often covering a significant portion through internal grants and fundraising efforts.
The FixIt program, operating under the umbrella of AmeriCorps and a part of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), offers volunteer support to senior and disabled homeowners in Hillsborough County. Providing assistance with minor home repairs, including plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, and other safety-related tasks, FixIt aims to enhance the safety and accessibility of homes, enabling residents to remain comfortably in their residences.
“We are thrilled to host this Coffee and Causes event focused on ‘Home Repair Help,’ where attendees can learn about the critical work being done by Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity and the RSVP FixIt program,” said Sara Ceaser, Director of Volunteer and Community Engagement at United Way of Greater Nashua. “These organizations play a vital role in ensuring that individuals and families in our community have safe and functional living spaces.”
The “Home Repair Help” talk will take place on Friday, April 5th, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm at the Nashua Senior Activity Center.
