Habitat for Humanity, Every 3rd Saturday!
We’ve started serving on a project in East Oakland with non-profit Habitat for Humanity and we’re seeking to align with their vision of providing “simple”, “decent”, and “affordable” housing for over 300,000 families.
Specifically, we’ll be helping build in East Oakland @ Kinsell Commons, every 3rd Saturday starting November 20th 2010, from 8:30-4:00pm! This will be a great opportunity to serve our community and also build community within our own church family! We hope you’ll consider joining us. If you’re interested in participating, please contact David at david@convergeoakland.org.

Habitat December 2010 Crew
Convergence has had the privilege of participating in Habitat for Humanity’s construction of fourteen East Oakland homes over the past five months. This past December, a crew of eight volunteers contributed to a huge caulking and spackling effort at the first phase of Kinsell Commons. The houses involved have neared completion and are going up for inspection soon. We’ll be moving onto a second site this new year where foundations have been laid and we might be able to be a part of the truly exciting building of the new frame of new homes!

August 2011 Crew
As a church we’ve committed to partnering with the Habitat non-profit every third Saturday since November ’10 and it’s continued to be a place of fulfilling physical work and fellowship with both each other and other volunteers. It is our hope to serve our city in need by aligning with Habitat’s vision of providing “simple”, “decent”, and “affordable” housing for over 300,000 families.
Join us for our monthly build dates! No construction experience necessary. We’ll be out there from 8:30a to 4:30p and both breakfast and lunch will be provided. Contact David (david@convergeoakland.org) for more details and registration information.
