Mission: Habitat for humanity of rock and jefferson counties, inc. Works to create decent, affordable housing in partnership with those in need and to make shelter a matter of conscience with people everywhere.
Programs: Habitat for humanity of rock and jefferson counties (hfhrjc) works in partnership with god and with people from all walks of life to develop communities and neighborhoods with people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience god's love and can live and grow into all that god intends. We are not a "hand-out" program but rather a "hands-up" program where we help families help themselves. Since 1990 hfhrjc has built 58 houses in two counties. In the past year, over 1,300 volunteers have contributed almost 7,000 hours building three houses, staffing fundraising events, helping in our recycle/reuse store, and overseeing and guiding the organization.
the restore accepts donations of new and saleable, used building materials such as cabinets, lighting and plumbing fixtures, doors, lumber, flooring, and windows, most of which would otherwise be placed in a landfill. Some materials are used to build houses and the remainder is sold to the public at 50-75% off the retail price.
