Habitat for Humanity will begin construction on new affordable homes in Issaquah this year.

As a way of introducing themselves to the community, Habitat staff will host a Volunteer Information Meeting on Jan. 7, in Issaquah, at the Issaquah Library Administration Service Center.

At the meeting they will review current projects and volunteer opportunities, and answer any questions.

If you can't make it to this meeting there are still ways to get involved.
