Dear Habitat for Humanity supporter,
I am writing to provide an update about the measures Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut is taking to protect our staff, volunteers, the people we serve and our community during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
These measures are based on guidance from Habitat for Humanity International and local, state and national public health authorities. We are continually monitoring the situation, and our approach may change as new guidance is provided. Given the current circumstances in our area, our office, construction builds and both the Waterford and Plainfield ReStores will remain temporarily closed through May 20, 2020, as Governor Lamont has requested.
We will send out additional updates as conditions change. We recognize these measures may be disruptive to your plans, but given our local conditions, this temporary closure is prudent. We will continue to post updates on our website, through social media and in emails.
Please know that we are constantly monitoring the situation and will update our plans as new details emerge. Thank you for your continued support as we navigate this public health crisis together.
In partnership,
Terri O’Rourke
CEO & Executive Director
