Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 35+ million people build or improve the place they call home.
We build because we believe that everyone, everywhere should have a healthy, affordable place to call home. When a family helps build or improve a place they can call home, they are also building a better community, a better life for themselves.
COVID-19 has forced everyone to deeply consider the fundamental importance of home — of having safe, decent and affordable shelter. For far too many families, “shelter in place” only exacerbated the conditions with which they have struggled for so long. Since 1976, Habitat has helped families around the world build and improve places to call home because we believe that a home and the community that surrounds it should be a source of solace and a source of strength. Places to be healthy and thriving, a springboard to stability and opportunity. Now more than ever. Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity is on a mission to eliminate sub-standard housing in the greater Grand Forks Community, but we need your help! We can rely entirely on donations from individuals, foundations, corporations and faith-based groups, so your gift ensures our ability to continue serving families in need. Your donation will help families in need of a decent place to build long-term financial security. With an affordable, stable home, families have more to spend on food, medicine, child care, education and other essentials. Your support can help us do more in all the many ways that Habitat builds.
Thanks to you, Habitat is transforming lives around the world.
