Our speaker this month is Jillian Kessler, Community Outreach & Volunteer Manager at Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity, which is working to create safe, affordable housing solutions for families in our communities. Jillian will provide an inside look at their core programs, including home construction, home repairs, and their two ReStore operations in Manville and Clinton, and how each helps strengthen communities across Somerset and Hunterdon Counties.
Jillian will also share information about the many ways to get involved, from volunteering on a build site or in the ReStores, to supporting through donations, sponsorships, and advocacy. Individuals, corporate groups, and community organizations like NJHN have meaningful opportunities to make a lasting impact. Join us to discover how, together, all of us can help build homes, communities, and hope.
This is a hybrid event in-person at the Franklin Twp Public Library in Somerset and via Zoom. Jillian will present in-person at the library. For Zoom participants, register in advance at:
