Our 5-home STAR project in Ashland is moving along! Site work began in September and we are hoping to start construction later this year. We have identified the families purchasing these homes, including 6 adults and 14 children. Stay tuned for upcoming events to celebrate the start of this project on S. Taylor and Arlington Streets.

If you are able, consider becoming a financial supporter of this project and the five families purchasing homes. Learn more online at https://www.hkwhabitat.org/star/.

Ways to Support Habitat

Charred Hanover will be holding a fundraiser for Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity every Monday in October. For every burger sold on October 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., Charred will donate $2 to HKW Habitat. A representative of Habitat will be there from 5-7 p.m. each Monday. Stop by at lunch or dinner and order a delicious burger and support your local Habitat!

We can’t believe it either, but the holidays are right around the corner! This year, we’re partnering with Minted to help us fundraise, and we need your help to reach our goal.

Using our unique code FUNDRAISEHANOVERKING, you can get 20% OFF all your Minted holiday card and gift purchases - and for every order placed, Minted will donate 15% back to our organization. With high-quality products designed by independent artists, like custom photo gifts, holiday cards, tote bags, stationery, and more, Minted has meaningful gifts for every special occasion.

To participate, simply visit minted.com/holiday to start your holiday shopping.

Join us in turning cans into cash! We have started another Recycling Competition Grant through Novelis from September through November! Please drop your aluminum cans off at our ReStore or at any Hanover transfer station.
