Welcome To Our New Blog!
Hello Gallatin Valley!
With two major events happening within the same week we wanted to launch our new Blog to help get the word out. Thanks to Sears and the American Dream, Habitat for Humanity of Gallatin Valley has been identified as the Charity of Choice for the winner livning right here in Bozeman.
On Saturday May 2nd Kenyon Noble and the local ABC Affiliate are hosting an auction for Habitat for Humanity at the Oak Street Store.
Come on out and see what they have to offer and help build a home for a deserving family. There are many families right here in Gallatin Valley that need affordable housing. As you know, cost of housing in Bozeman and the surrounding communities runs higher than in the rest of the state.
Your donations are the main source of revenue for us to build homes and stay in operations to tackle this issues of affordable housing - one house at a time.
BUT, that’s not all. Our ANNUAL WOMEM BUILD is just around the corner too.
On May 6 thru May 9th we are asking the Women of Gallatin Valley to volunteer their time and make a donation of $ 30.00 to build a home for two of our partner families.
If you join us, you will meet three or four of our Partner Families who are working for their own home. Each one has had to qualify by having a steady source of income, be able to sustain a home by paying the mortgage, taxes, and their utilities, and currently live in unsustainable housing now.
Learn that Habitat homes are not hand-outs, but a helping hand-up! And, we need your hands to help to make that happen.
So…come on out and join us on Sat. May 2nd at Kenyon Noble at their Oak Street store, and join us on May 6-9 to frame out a home and complete work on another so that we can move a partner family into a home.
If you would like to register for the Women Build, just go to our web site at www.habitatbozemna.org and download the registration/donation form found at the bottom of the first page.
I hope to see you there…
