Hearts for Homes + Giving Tuesday
Our Hearts for Homes fundraising campaign has reached $125,000! We saw a lovely boost during Giving Tuesday. There is still time to make a donation, no matter the size. Your end-of-year donation will help us reach our goal of wrapping up Cityview Village and starting plans on our next big build.
Welcome Home!
“It was hard to think that we would ever own our own home, but we received this opportunity from Habitat for Humanity and are so thankful for it.”
2020 Habitat Homeowner
Thank you to our volunteers!
Thank you so much to our many volunteers for your contributions in 2020. It has been a year like no other, but you have continued to show an amazing commitment for your community and our mission, helping families to build strength, stability and independence for our shared future.
