Connetquot High School Students Participate in a Habitat For Humanity Build in Bellport, LI

As part of their participation in Optimum Community’s Charity Champions program, Habitat For Humanity Club students from Connetquot High School lent their time and energy to swing hammers and drive nails on a Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk home in Bellport. Led by teachers Jason Wilans and Dennis Fagan, Optimum Community presented Habitat For Humanity of Suffolk with a $1,000 check on behalf of the students.

For more than 15 years, Habitat for Humanity has been a club at Connetquot, bringing the importance of community service to the students and allowing them to understand that there are many people in their own community who are in need of help. Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk is an independently operated affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International whose mission is to work in partnership with thousands of Suffolk County volunteers and responsible, low income families of all races, religions, and creeds.
