Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity (GMHFH) is thrilled to announce our upcoming "Rock the Block" event on April 19th, 2024, in Mint Hill. This initiative, part of our ongoing effort to preserve local neighborhoods, promises to be a day of significant community engagement and transformation.
"Rock the Block" brings together homeowners, volunteers, and community and corporate sponsors to partake in a series of minor exterior services aimed at enhancing neighborhood aesthetics and livability. Happening each spring and fall, the event for this spring is set to take place in Mint Hill and is in collaboration with the Canopy Housing Foundation, aligning with the annual Realtors® Care Day and the Town of Mint Hill. This partnership underscores our commitment to community unity and sustainable living environments across the Greater Matthews area.
