Habitat for Humanity - May

We are building in Belvidere.

Habitat for Humanity has a lot near Immanuel School and will begin construction in May.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has given us a generous gift but we need to raise 10% of the money needed locally.
Look for the Habitat for Humanity table in the upcoming weeks and give a gift. For gifts larger than $25.00, you can fill out a special certificate which will be given to the family as they take occupancy.
