Our work depends on the help of the entire Habitat community. It has been a challenging time and we couldn’t have continued this work without your dedication and engagement. I wish to thank the many people who contributed generously of their time and financial resources helping hard-working area residents, like the Alhallaks and Tabors, to have a safe and affordable home in which to live. You are making a significant impact on our community!
Thank you! Eric Solsaa, President, Board of Directors
