“But most
important, we also take time for our American family, particularly
the least privileged, the lost, and those left behind. After all,
as my mother always told us throughout the years, those of us who
are blessed have an obligation to be a blessing to others.”
--The late Jack Kemp, Former U.S. Secretary of Housing & Urban
Development and former Habitat for Humanity International Board
Member

It takes
money, materials and people power to build homes. Donating to fund
home construction makes sense. Because of its use of volunteers,
Habitat for Humanity has low overhead costs so majority of the funds
go toward building. And your tax-deductible donations to Habitat
help more than just one family - as homeowners repay their
no-interest loans, those funds are made available to the next house
build to help yet another family become homeowners.
