Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is currently renovating a space in St. Mary’s Square that will house our Restore and Administrative Offices. On June 6th, 2015 volunteers from the CarMax, Inc. spent the day working with several other volunteers from our community, board and staff. When this project is completed we look forward to serving the community with a facility that is more spacious and welcoming. We would like to extend our gratitude to the CarMax Foundation for their generous donation and for sending us five wonderful volunteers from CarMax, Inc. who came out and “gave it their all” to help us.
