Based in Douglas County, Minnesota, we exist as a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing in the community and to make simple, decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. 
Each gift helps a family in need of decent shelter. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law and will be acknowledged with a letter you may use for those purposes. We take seriously our responsibility to contributors, to those counting on our help to be wise stewards of funds entrusted to us.
Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is a great way to learn new skills and give back to the community. If you would like to help, please fill out our Volunteer Registration Form (PDF) along with a release waiver and submit it via fax or mail. Learn about construction and non-construction opportunities.

Owning Something of Our Own
Challenges are nothing new to Melissa Bartone, a mother of two young children, and a Habitat partner family. But this is not something you would be able to tell upon meeting her. You are immediately struck by two things – her tiny frame and the huge smile that covers her face when she talks with you.
