Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity, Inc

Help Us Build Homes. Build Community. Build Hope.

This Give to the Max Day, your generosity fuels Habitat’s work across Goodhue County—building homes, supporting hardworking families, training future builders, and strengthening neighborhoods. Every gift stays local and helps create stability, opportunity, and hope.

How Habitat Changes Lives

Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity helps working families become first-time homeowners through partnership and hard work. Habitat homebuyers purchase their market-priced homes with an affordable mortgage and invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity to help build them. They learn to manage their home and finances and witness volunteerism in our communities. Families pay taxes, gain stability, build equity, and strengthen neighborhoods.

Your generosity makes this powerful model possible.

Building the Next Generation of Skilled Workers

Through our Build for Tomorrow Initiative, we’re also working alongside the next generation of builders. In partnership with the Goodhue Wildcats and Kenyon-Wanamingo Knights, high school students work side-by-side with instructors and Habitat staff to construct homes that transform lives. It’s a win-win-win: families gain affordable housing, students gain hands-on trade skills, and our communities gain a stronger workforce for the future.

Your gift helps families today and strengthens our workforce for tomorrow.
