“Without Habitat for Humanity we would have never been able to get into a house. We are able to have gardens, a safe place for our children to run and grown, and a stable home where we know we can afford the payment!”
Valerie homeowner since 2009
“Habitat has allowed us to build our own home, with our family, for our family. It would not have been possible financially without the help of Habitat and all the volunteers. Along with learning new skills along the way! We are extremely blessed to have a house to call our home that we built with all of our friends, new and old.”
Jessica Homeowner since 2015
