WATERFORD, Conn. –Naval Submarine Support Center, New London (NSSC NWLN), First Class Petty officer Association (FCPOA) members participated in a community service event with Habitat for Humanity Restore, April 24.
“It’s a great feeling to volunteer,” said Religious Program Specialist 1st Class, John Dillard. “We are making a difference by joining forces with the local community.”
NSSC Sailors spent the day volunteering their time stocking and organizing shelves and loading and unloading trucks.
“NSSC FCPOA give us this opportunity to help the local community while we learn about community outreach,” said Dillard. “It’s for a good cause to help those that are less fortunate.”
Habitat for Humanity Restore Waterford, Conn., is a local non-profit organization providing new and used furniture, appliances, and building materials at discounted prices. The proceeds enable Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut to build homes in partnership with families in need.
“We appreciate all the help the military gives us,” said Store Manager Kim Frenkel. “It’s really nice to have extra hands, strong individuals that can lift and load and unload trucks because it’s a lot of work.”
