95.9 The Rat is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity for our 3rd annual, “House That Rock Built” campaign.
This year, the Rat’s House That Rock Built will go to a veteran… Why? Because you can’t have the land of the free without a home for the brave. So this October 5th & 6th , roll up your sleeves and get to work as we build an affordable house for a us military veteran.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Everyone counts here on the Jersey Shore and the difference that Habitat for Humanity makes is gigantic.
The family that receives this incredible gift will earn it. They’ll be banging nails right alongside us and they’re specially picked because of their work ethic and dedication to the project.
This isn’t a hand out… but a way for a family to get a leg up on a better, more stable life on the Jersey Shore.
Please join us in thanking the local businesses who have realized how awesome this project is; without them we’d be nowhere.
