Welcome to the Perinton Congregations Habitat for Humanity website.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Perinton Congregations Habitat for Humanity was started in 1998 when Flower City Habitat asked Perinton Ecumenical Ministries, Inc., a coalition of 13 local churches, to hold an informational meeting. Within a year, ground was broken for two homes on Cuba Place, formerly a drug-infested neighborhood in Rochester. The parishioners of the church of St. John of Rochester raised $50,000 and provided the workers to build one house. Four other churches—Church of Assumption, Fairport United Methodist Church, Church of the Resurrection and Perinton Community Church--combined efforts to raise $50,000 and provide workers to build the second house.
