Why Your Support Matters

When you support Greene County Habitat for Humanity, you support our partner families as they team up with our volunteers to build their own decent, safe, affordable homes in Greene County. 

Since 1996, the 81 houses we’ve built represent 81 families who have established a foundation for success through our home purchase program.

With pride and gratitude, these families have been able to buy homes of their own with affordable mortgages that are frequently less than the rent they were paying previously. These 81 families include 91 adults and 146 children, who have been able to drastically improve their living conditions.

Money

Help build strength and stability with your generous donation.

At Habitat for Humanity, we build. 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.

Sales of donated items help Habitat for Humanity partner with local families to build, rehabilitate and repair safe and affordable homes in your community and around the world — a good deal for you, our community, and the environment. Together, we can help families achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build a better future while creating stronger neighborhoods.

Ways to Donate

Thank you for your support of Greene County Habitat for Humanity, Inc.  Your support allows us to continue our mission to continue to construct and sell affordable homes to hardworking families in our community. 

Homes constructed using the Habitat-proven model of "sweat equity" affordability are sold with no-interest mortgages. Those funds are used to further the mission. 

One of the most exciting moments in our community is when a Habitat homeowner pays off their mortgage!  Habitat has constructed 81 homes and has celebrated the payoff of four mortgages. 

Habitat families are hardworking neighbors who "pay it forward!"   Your support helps us build more homes as we change lives and work to provide everyone a decent place to live.
