August 17, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • Page 15 Area On August 18, 2011, Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County will celebrate the generosity of the OritaniBank Charitable Foundation. The foundation’s $100,000 donation “turned on the lights” for the D’Annibale Family, who will move into their new Habitat home in Waldwick later this month. Sandra D’Annibale is a single mother raising five children, currently all living in a cramped one-bedroom apartment. “Habitat Bergen and Oritani have changed my life in more ways than one. They have not only given my family a home to call our own at a price I can afford, this experience has opened my eyes to the wonderful Habitat for Humanity organization that helps so many people throughout the world,” said D’Annibale. Kevin J. Lynch, president of the OritaniBank Charitable Foundation and chairman, CEO, and president of Oritani, will unveil the sign identifying the home as “The Oritani House,” the largest of the four condominiums built by Habitat Bergen at the Wyckoff Avenue location. “We are pleased to be able to contribute to Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County’s efforts to provide decent, affordable housing for members of our community,” said Lynch. “In partnership with the dedicated Habitat volunteers, the hard-working participating families are able to attain their goal of owning a home and providing a safe environment to raise their children. At Oritani, we recognize that home ownership is a dream for many individuals and we are very proud to have been a tangible part of this process for the D’Annibale family.” Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County provides decent, affordable homes for hardworking Bergen County families.
