House Build: Dec 7th 2018

No Work

We will not be working at the house this weekend, but if you still wish to help, volunteers are always needed and welcomed at the ReStore at 716 Gidding Street. Please feel free to donate your time at the store as we received a large donation from Border State Electric that we could use help sorting through.

Habitat For Humanity

We're super excited to let you know that we're part of an amazing campaign called the CrowdRise by GoFundMe Holiday Challenge, a friendly fundraising campaign for organizations committed to raising money and awareness for their cause.We're looking for our supporters to give as much as they can so we can win the grand prize of $100,000. And to help, there will be various Bonus Challenges which are opportunities to raise even more money and win extra cash for our cause. The first one starts tomorrow on #GivingTuesday, and the top 3 organizations to raise the most online between 12am ET and 11:59:59pm on November 27th will each win a cash prize. The charity that raises the most online will win $35,000, the charity that raises the second most online will win $15,000, and the charity that raises the third most online will win $5,000. To help, please Click Here and give what you can. If you want to go a step further and join our fundraising team, that would be even more incredible. Imagine the money we could raise together if you reached out to your network about our cause. To donate or to join the fundraising team, please Click here Thank you so much.

Looking for affordable housing? Own your home, but need repairs?

We build houses, but more than that, we help families improve the skills it takes to be a success in life:

·         Studies  of children ages 5-8 revealed that children of homeowners scored 9% higher in math and 7% higher in reading

·         Studies show that children living in owned homes have fewer behavioral  problems than children whose parents rent housing.

·         Habitat family members become neighborhood leaders, serving in the PTA and community associations.

·         Habitat families are supported through establishing good credit, creating a family budget, purchasing insurance, paying taxes, maintaining property values and many other effective homeownership skills.

We turn families who may not otherwise be able to afford a home of their own into proud homeowners.

============================================================================================================== 

Habitat can also help current lower-income home owners with critical home repair that may be beyond their means. Zero interest loans for needed materials, repayment plans are based on actual ability to pay. Sweat equity options in order to qualify toward partnering with Habitat volunteers in completing the repair project.
