We are appreciative of your time and financial support!

 

The Donation Wish List is one of many ways you can help.  Supplies needed are listed by month which provides groups a fantastic way to get involved. Church groups and youth groups love using this list.  They chose a month, regardless of what month it actually is, and gather those items, then donate them to Habitat. This a fantastic way for anyone to give back and help Habitat.
