Two beloved Habitat for Humanity affiliates — those of Sussex and Warren Counties — joined forces at the beginning of the year and are now known as Habitat for Humanity Northwest New Jersey.
The merger will allow the two affiliates to combine resources and opportunities for land acquisition and construction, thus impacting even more families through a homeownership program across the two counties.
As Habitat for Humanity Northwest New Jersey, the merged organization also aims to perform over 100 Home Repair projects, begin construction on eight more homes, and open a ReStore location in Sussex County, all in 2025.
As with any new endeavor, the work accomplished depends on the support received. Habitat NWNJ is seeking volunteers to perform repairs, to join their two regular construction crews in Warren County and Sussex County, to work with customers and pre-loved items at their ReStores (currently located in Washington, with plans to open a third ReStore in Sussex County soon), and to help further all efforts behind the scenes by joining a committee or assisting the office staff.
This merger will ultimately allow the combined affiliates to serve more families and build more homes, communities and hope in Northwestern New Jersey.
