1. Easton Shovel Shuffle for Habitat For Humanity

The Easton chapter of Habitat for Humanity is in the process of raising the funds necessary to build a Habitat House on Highland Street.   As part of our fundraising and outreach initiative, the Easton Local Partnership Committee (LPC) is launching its first major fundraiser.   The “Shovel Shuffle” is an innovative, easy and fun way to assist Habitat in its mission of providing a simple, decent, affordable place for a selected family to call home.  As important, advertisement of your business will travel with the shovel to show your support and partnership with Habitat for the selected family in need.
