In the fall of 2017, the Social Justice Committee led a service on HOME, which also served as the kick-off for the congregation’s engagement with Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod (HHCC) in its build on Paul Hush Way in Brewster. This project consists of four 2-bedroom homes, nine 3-bedroom homes, and one 4-bedroom home; it will honor the memory of Paul Hush, Brewster resident, a long-time social activist and leader within the First Parish Brewster UU congregation.

Our four fold commitment to Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod

• Bring an awareness of the need for affordable year-round housing on Cape Cod, especially for younger families.

• Honor FPBUU’s history with HHCC which began in 1989 through the collaboration of Rev. Robinson and Susan Johnson.

• Sponsor one house on Paul Hush Way, which involves raising $55,000 by January 2020.

• Engage in on-going volunteer work during the period of the project.

Great News! As of July 31, FPB has contributed $51, 700 of our $55,000 commitment to HHCC; we hope to complete this commitment this year. The dedication of FPB members to engage as volunteers, both individually and as a group, has been inspiring. We hope you will participate in this congregational project.
