Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County

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.

Volunteer

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.

Thrivent Builds

Thrivent Builds Homes… more than 1,000 dreams come true!

Join us for a day. Stay in a family’s heart forever.

Since 2005, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, through its alliance with Habitat for Humanity, has given more than 1,000 families the opportunity to build and own a decent, affordable home. In the process, strong bonds of friendship have been built … and lives changed.

Thanks to Thrivent Financial members and other Lutheran volunteers working with Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the country, those 1,000 families have the increased financial security that comes from affordable homeownership. The impact doesn’t end there.

314 families will be helped in 2009, including one family in Evansville!

Again this year, our affiliate will be part of this alliance. Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County is building another home with Thrivent Builds this year. The Thrivent Builds Homes program brings both financial and volunteer support to help our affiliate and other Habitat affiliates build more homes with partner families. You can help build stronger lives and stronger communities.

To get involved, call 320-762-4255, or e-mail info@hfhdouglascounty.org or visit www.thriventbuilds.com.

Help end poverty housing through Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity, a $125 million financial, volunteer and advocacy alliance between Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity International®.
