Habitat for Humanity

Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide non-profit housing organization seeking to eliminate substandard housing by building decent affordable homes for families who cannot afford to purchase them through conventional means.  Our association is with the Northern Fox Valley chapter.

How you can help:  

• Construction volunteers – you do not need to be a tradesperson to be a construction volunteer. The basic ability to swing a hammer, carry some material, cut a piece of wood, etc. are basic skills you will need. You will be supervised by experienced people. If the task gets beyond your skill, there is always something that can be done. The day usually starts around 8:30am and ends at 3pm.
• Retired or experienced trades people to direct/instruct the work during the rehab. 

In conjunction with 11 other churches in the Palatine area, Holy Family is rehabbing a home in Elgin.  Directions and more information about the Spring of Life Habitat local chapter is on our website: www.springoflifehabitat.org (see link below). Contact Larry Buettner to volunteer.
