Thank you to all the supporters who turned our for the official kick-off of our first capital campaign, A Home for Habitat. The event helped spread the word to the community about the importance of the campaign and what the new building will mean for Habitat and our community.
 Currently, we have raised $347,000 for the purchase and renovation of the building. Once completed, the building will allow Habitat to accept large, in-kind donations, utilize interns and Americorps volunteers, and share resources with Habitat ReStore.
To find out more or to learn about ways to support the campaign contact Debbie Jackson at (563) 359-9066. |
