Nickels for Nails, an opportunity for area youth to raise money for Habitat for Humanity-Buffalo, has been a great success!

We are very grateful for the participation of fourteen local schools – private, public, and charter – consisting of 6,600 students from pre-kindergarten to college-age, who participated in the campaign which officially ended on April 1. These students helped our organization by donating spare change and bills into paint cans and cardboard house banks that were distributed to these schools.

Habitat for Humanity Buffalo’s new build house at 20 Guilford Street was built to a LEED’s Gold performance level and is currently waiting for confirmation of that designation. It is the first single family LEED registered project in Western New York and was built by Habitat volunteers who committed themselves to the strenuous task of the rating system.

LEED stands for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System. It is designed to encourage, develop, and expand sustainable green building practices through a national and international standard of criteria.
