Calvert & St. Mary’s County MD – Through our partnership with Christmas in April Calvert County we are able to help another veteran in our community with critical repairs needed in his home. Patuxent Habitat for Humanity’s Veteran Critical Home Repair Program allows us to perform many necessary home repairs for our local veterans. Patuxent Habitat has previously helped Mr. Gregory, a US Army Veteran, and we are pleased to be able to help him again.. A few years ago Patuxent Habitat repaired his roof and a few other critical repairs. On April 30th we are working on the only bathroom, replacing some handrails, and a couple of other small repairs to make his home a better place for him and his wife to age in place safely and comfortably.
Patuxent Habitat for Humanity has partnered with Christmas In April Calvert County on many occasions over several years to help our local community and veterans to have a safe, decent and stable home. Working together, side by side promotes understanding and self-reliance. Our partnership of donating supplies from our ReStore allows us to help more families have a strong and stable home which helps build a stronger community. Decent shelter is something we all need to thrive and our veteran population deserves nothing but the best. Every helping hand makes a difference.
Christmas In April Calvert County Inc. is a United Way Member Agency, which helps disabled and elderly homeowners and families with children, who live in and own their house and cannot afford to pay for home repairs. Christmas in April works all year to repair dozens of houses on the last Saturday of April. Emergency repairs and follow-up work are done throughout the year.
