Fund Raising Activities
HfHMC’s
Resource Development Committee also coordinates a number of fund raising
activities. All profits from these fund-raisers are used to benefit
HfHMC and its mission to build decent affordable homes for God’s low-income
working people residing in Mahoning County.
The most visible among these fund raising projects are:
