YNHH sponsors two more Habitat for Humanity houses
Richard D’Aquila, executive vice president and COO, turned over a shovelful of dirt at 38 Vernon St. Oct. 11 to mark the groundbreaking of two more YNHH-sponsored Habitat for Humanity houses in the Hill neighborhood. He was joined by, from left, Hill alderwoman Jaqueline James-Evans; Bill Casey, Habitat executive director; D’Aquila; Michael Bennick, MD, associate chief of Medicine and long-time Habitat volunteer; and Barbara Katz, president of the board of Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven. YNHH employees are encouraged to volunteer to work on either of the two houses at 34 and 38 Vernon St., just two blocks from YNHH’s 20 York St. entrance. Employees may sign up to volunteer as individuals, with members of their department or with family and friends.
