Habitat for Humanity of South Central Minnesota

Habitat for Humanity of South Central Minnesota builds strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. With your help, homeowners can change the trajectory of their lives and build a better, more stable future for their families. 

Home is more than a place to keep warm in the winter. It’s a place to share meals and gifts, to laugh and celebrate with family and friends, and to give thanks for the chance at a new beginning. Our community’s generosity has helped four families in 2023 move into their new homes! This year, we have had three groundbreakings and five families approved and are working on six build sites. Will you be part of this generosity movement? Building a home not only transforms one family but the whole community.

Families living in substandard housing often face challenges to their health, family stability, and children’s education. Constantly moving to find an affordable home also means it can be difficult to maintain steady employment, build credit, and develop important relationships. Your generosity offers working families the opportunity to achieve homeownership and the strength and stability that follows. Housing positively impacts children, improves health, strengthens communities, builds wealth, and benefits the local economy.

Your gift does more than build a house. It provides strength and stability for hardworking families and a transformed future. Habitat relies on the generosity of the community through gifts and volunteering. It’s a neighbor-helping-neighbor model. We believe it is our responsibility to create strong communities where everyone can thrive. We humbly ask you to consider donating during the giving season.

This year, homeownership has grown further out of reach for hardworking families. Home prices, inflation, and interest rates have impacted families looking for the strength and stability that homeownership offers. By sending a gift to Habitat today, you can make a family’s dreams of homeownership a reality and bring us closer to a community where everyone has a decent place to live.

Thank you for giving a gift that speaks to the reason for the holiday season and for helping to change a life today. We wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a blessed new year.
