Flower City Habitat for Humanity (FCHH) celebrated years of volunteer service at its annual dinner and meeting on June 14 at The Burgundy Basin, 1361 Marsh Road, Pittsford.
Along with volunteer awards, FCHH honored some Habitat supporters with specialized achievement awards, and recognized those Habitat homeowners who have paid their mortgage in full.
