Our History
Sisters Habitat for Humanity was established in 1990 with a mission to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Our journey began with the dedication and hard work of volunteers, donors, and community members who believed in the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Our first homeowners moved into their new home in 1991, marking the beginning of a legacy of providing affordable housing in our community. Their journey came full circle in 2011 when they paid off their mortgage, a momentous occasion that coincided with our 20-year anniversary. Their story is a testament to the transformative power of stable housing and the impact of Habitat for Humanity's mission.
Over the past three decades, Sisters Habitat for Humanity’s services to the community has grown significantly, placing a total of more than 80 households in safe, affordable dwellings. Each home represents a new beginning for a household, a cornerstone of stability and security. In addition to building new homes, we also repair and preserve homes, ensuring that existing homeowners can continue to live in safe and well-maintained environments.
How We Work
Habitat houses are sold at no-profit to partner households. Mortgage payments, for homes recently sold, are approximately $500 per month.
The success of our program is rooted in the generous support from our community and volunteers. Volunteers from all walks of life contribute their time, skills, and energy to construct homes, assist in our stores, fostering a sense of community for our partner households.
Financial support comes from individual donations, churches, corporate sponsorships, foundations, and grants, as well as income from our Thrift Store and ReStore. Local businesses and community organizations often sponsor builds, providing both financial assistance and volunteer teams.
The collective efforts of our volunteers, donors, and community partners ensure that Sisters Habitat for Humanity can continue to provide affordable housing solutions, fostering stability and hope for many years to come.
ReStore and Thrift Store
In 1993 we opened a Thrift Store in order to help raise funds for the building program and provide affordably priced merchandise and other goods for customers to purchase. In 2007 we added a Habitat ReStore which enabled us to sell donated furniture, appliances and used construction materials. The Thrift Store and ReStore combined contribute more than $250,000 to Sisters Habitat each year. Ten percent of the net income from the ReStore and Thrift Store is given to Habitat International’s Tithe department for building homes overseas.
