It’s time to get your hands dirty for an amazing local cause! The 6th Annual House That Rock Built will begin in the parking lot of the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown and we need your help!
This is where it will all begin. At some point in the not-so-distant-future a local family will be sitting around their dinner table sharing a meal… they’ll be helping their kids with homework… Mom might be eyeing some cookies in the oven and dad just might be complaining about, “who put the thermostat so high!” (Lol, all dad’s do it…)
The family will be thankful and honored to be part of the community as they realize the amazing feeling of having their OWN roof over their OWN heads! And it all starts with you: The good people of the Rat Rock Nation who will realize that helping to build a house for a worthy family is one of the best ways to encourage a community to grow in a healthy way. It’s not a hand out to the family… they’ll be banging nails and working along side you… They’ll have a mortgage to pay too… But it’ll all be affordable because of you and the hard work of Habitat for Humanity of Monmouth County.
So.. if you’ve ever banged a nail – or even if you haven’t – please join on August 25th and 26th as we put the walls together for the House That Rock Built 2021!
If you want, you can sponsor a builder… see below. And if you’re part of a local company, consider sponsoring the WHOLE project!

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. | |||
