Steve Biolsi '97 recently returned to New York after spending 6 years in California with Habitat for Humanity and is now the Project Manager for Habitat in Westchester County. He took the opportunity to hopefully start a local project for Habitat and have organized the purchase of an abandoned home in Somers. As they are just getting started, they would be able to use help on almost every aspect of the process, including with Family Services, Fundraising, Communications, and Construction. If you would like to get involved with this important effort please reach out to Steve at sbiolsi@habitatwc.org. Thank you for supporting the community!
