Volunteers in our local organization provide most of the labor. Individuals in the community, local religious organizations, and corporate donors provide money and materials to build our Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - 'sweat equity' - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more homes. If you are interested in helping us build homes for those in need please visit our "Volunteer" page for more information! Any questions or comments please visit our "Contact Us" page!
