"We have a new and fun holiday event for the kids—an opportunity to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus on the front porch of a beautifully restored historic home. Santa and Mrs. Claus will greet children and have their picture taken with them. There will be hot chocolate and treats available, as well as ornament making."

The cost to participate is $20 per family, with all the money raised going directly to the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor to fund local projects, right here in Eastern Maine.

Joliff says HFHGB's most recent build allowed a local family a chance to move into their new house, just steps away from both a playground and a couple of schools.
