Habitat for Humanity of Westchester is an affiliate of an international Christian housing ministry.
Habitat for
Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller and is headquartered in Americus, Georgia. The Westchester
affiliate was established in 1988, and The Rev. Robert Osgood, pastor of the Pleasantville United Methodist Church, became
the first president.
The concept of the organization is simple. Christians share an abundance, making available a
portion of their resources for construction of modest, well-built homes for the poor. Building costs are kept to a minimum
through volunteer labor, including that of the prospective owner, gifts of land, and donations from contractors, tradesmen,
corporations and individuals
