Open Doors is shaping Habitat’s future, empowering our team with the tools we need to serve more families through affordable homeownership. The initiative seeks to raise $4 million to increase of our construction output by 50 percent through 2026… and put us in the position to build more for years to come. As our organization enters the final leg of our fundraising effort, we will turn to our shared communities to help us cross the finish line by raising the last $1 million of our total goal.
Our goal is to raise $4 million by end of this year, which will fund our 30-home build goal, and we are well positioned to meet (perhaps even beat!) this goal by year’s end. Most recently, we announced the generous gift of an entire Habitat home, to be constructed and donated by Ebersole Builders. See the LNP article here, which includes information on the groundbreaking ceremony this Wednesday at 10:30AM.
You too can help us finish strong with your gift to Open Doors. Donations can be made through this link to our designated campaign giving page. Or, to discuss a gift that’s right for you, please contact Amy Balestier at [email protected] or (223) 444-6415.
High Construction Company recently presented its contribution to Habitat following its 15th Annual Charity Golf Outing. With the support of trade partners who attended the event at Hershey Country Club, High raised $63,267 for our 30-home build endeavor! This generous gift comes at a time when we are working to reach our $4 million goal in the final weeks leading up to year’s end.
We are grateful to local companies like High Construction who are standing behind affordable homeownership in our community. Our team looks forward to partnering with them in other Habitat ways in the future!
ExtraGive is special and important every year, but THIS year is especially so as we celebrate our Open Doors effort. All gifts raised during the 24-hour giving marathon will support our 30-home goal.
You can make your gift at ExtraGive.org from 12 midnight to 11:59PM on Friday, Nov. 22. And, get extra festive with us that evening at Spring House Brewing on Hazel Street in Lancaster. From 6-9PM, a dollar from every beer and mixed drink purchased will be donated to Habitat. Live music from Wise Giants and our very own director of construction, Andy Joseph, will help us celebrate Lancaster County’s biggest annual giving day for local nonprofits.
