Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity Announces Megan Varrell as New Executive Director

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NEW JERSEY – OCTOBER 5, 2026 – As they celebrate their 40th anniversary, Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity is excited to announce that Board Member and former Resource Development Director Megan Varrell has been appointed as Executive Director, succeeding Scott Bosley. Gloucester County Habitat is thrilled to welcome Megan back to the organization full time.

“We are so grateful for all of the incredible work Scott did in his time with Gloucester County Habitat,” shared Ronda Abbruzzese, Board President. “We couldn’t imagine a better successor than Meg, who has long been a dedicated, passionate member of the Habitat family, and whose experience will be invaluable as we continue growing.”

Megan is a community-focused leader dedicated to strengthening connections between local government, businesses, nonprofits, and residents. Her career has centered on inclusive programming, community tourism, and small business support–enhancing quality of life while showcasing Gloucester County as a welcoming destination. Prior to her previous position at the Borough of Glassboro, Megan spent over three years as the Resource Development Director for Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, leading fundraising, donor relations, and community engagement initiatives. Megan is greatly looking forward to rejoining the team in a full-time role after more recently serving as a Board Member.

“Growing up in Gloucester County, I have come to believe that strong communities are built when people have the opportunity to come together and invest in one another,” said Varrell. “As Executive Director, I am committed to strengthening Habitat’s relationships throughout the county and helping advance our mission of creating safe, decent, and affordable housing opportunities for families.”

Megan has been married for five years to Lauren, with whom she has a 14-month-old named Henry. Megan became a strong advocate for NICU families and nurses after Henry spent 57 days at Cooper NICU. In her free time, she enjoys watching the Philadelphia Eagles and spending time in North Wildwood, which her family calls their happy place. At the heart of Megan’s work, advocacy, and her personal life is a simple philosophy: when people, organizations, and communities come together around a shared purpose, they can create lasting change. As she enters a new chapter in her career with Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, the organization knows that philosophy will guide her towards success.

ABOUT GLOUCESTER COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

At Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. With the help of permanent affordable housing solutions, families embark on an immediate path to financial stability & self-reliance that transcends generations. Beyond the family unit, homeownership helps Gloucester County preserve the available workforce, often preventing families from leaving the county to seek a better life. In traditionally underinvested neighborhoods, homeownership instills long-term residents with a vested interest in maintaining, advocating for, and investing in resources/ improvements for their neighborhood. Studies provided by Habitat for Humanity International, based on GCHFH’s data, shows homeownership is foundational to child development and growth. Homeownership lifts families from instability, stress, and fear, and encourages self-reliance and confidence.
