I have supported this group for over a decade as they have built 32 houses in our poor rural community. They instil pride and a sense of self worth in their new homeowners and reinforce the fiscal discipline it requires to build equity in their homes.
My family chooses habitat for humanity as the charitable organization to which we donate in honor of each other ILO gifts each Christmas.
Review from Guidestar
i have volunteered several times to help the marion county habitat for humanity efforts. while not very skilled in carpentry type work, i have provided manual labor. i have also contributed financially.
marion county is my home, but it has suffered economically in the past few years. there are alot of deserving families in our community that can use a helping hand. their options are extremely limited. our county director and his staff have done a wonderful job of constructing homes for these people. we have just finished our 31st home and started our 32nd home. with the limited resources of our community, this has been a truly inspiring effort.
Review from Guidestar
Since I'm not much good at construction, I make a donation each year to this fine organization in honor of my closest friends in Marion. I have said many times that Habit of Marion is our county's most important charitable mission that impacts the lives of so many people (homeowners, volunteers, etc) in so many positive ways. If we're ever going to bring ourselves together as a community, the work of MCHH is the appropriate model.
Review from Guidestar
Such a worthwhile organization! We have so many people in our area that are in need because of lack of employment, etc. that it is refreshing to hear of a group like Habitat that will help provide a house for a family at a price they can afford to pay. The Board of Directors and many volunteers that work with this group are dedicated and passionate about this cause. I cannot say enough about them.
